Methionine 129 variant of human prion protein oligomerizes more rapidly than the valine 129 variant - Implications for disease susceptibility to Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease [PDF]
, 2004 The human PrP gene (PRNP) has two common alleles that encode either methionine or valine at codon 129. This polymorphism modulates disease susceptibility and phenotype of human transmissible spongiform encyphalopathies, but the molecular mechanism by ...

Methionine metabolism, functions, and application in swine
Animal NutritionMethionine (Met) is the only sulfur-containing essential amino acid for animals and is the second or third limiting amino acid in swine diets. It plays a role not only in protein synthesis, but also as an important methyl donor to participate in various ...

Amino acid changes in the spike protein of feline coronavirus correlate with systemic spread of virus from the intestine and not with feline infectious peritonitis [PDF]
, 2014 Recent evidence suggests that a mutation in the spike protein gene of feline coronavirus (FCoV), which results in an amino acid change from methionine to leucine at position 1058, may be associated with feline infectious peritonitis (FIP).

Differentiation Between Ripening Stages of Iberian Dry-Cured Ham According to the Free Amino Acids Content [PDF]
, 2020 In this paper, the differentiation of three ripening stages, postsalting, drying, and cellar, of Iberian dry-cured ham has been carried out according to their free amino acids contents. Eighteen L-amino acids, alanine, 2-aminobutanoic acid, aspartic acid,
