Amino acid asparagine

The primary limitation associated with GC/MS is the need for derivatization. Derivatization introduces additional complexity to the system and is not 100% efficient. Inefficient reactions result in the presence of multiple derivatized forms of the same compound. For example, we can detect three different derivatization products of the amino acid asparagine (mw = 132) in M. truncatula roots (Fig.3.4). These include asparagine, N,0-TMS (mw = 276), asparagine, N,N,0-TMS (mw = 348), and asparagine, N,N,N,0-TMS (mw = 420). Inefficiency of the derivation reactions also limits the lower concentration range of analytes that can be profiled. Finally, derivatization is not capable of achieving volatility for all compounds, such as many of the flavonoid glycosides. If derivatization is successful and the analyte is... 

Two amino acids—asparagine and glutamine—contain acid-amide groups in the side chains, from which NH3 can be released by hydrolysis (hydrolytic deamination). In the blood, glutamine is the most important transport molecule for amino nitrogen. Hydrolytic deamination of glutamine in the liver also supplies the urea cycle with NH3. 

The amides of the carboxylic amino acids, asparagine and glutamine, are uncharged and polar.

Another important enzyme found in the genome of A. niger is asparaginase. This enzyme is capable of reducing the amount of the amino acid asparagine in foodstuffs, thereby preventing the undesired formation of acrylamide in baked and fried products (Plomp, P. et ah). The benefit to our business customers, and eventually the consumer, is dear safer food. 

Based on amino acid sequence similarity, CBMs have been classified until the time of writing (April 2007) into 49 families (http //www.cazy.org/CAZY/). CBDs contain usually low contents of charged amino acids and conserved aromatic amino acids, asparagines, and glycine residues. Bacterial CBDs are approximately three times the size of the fungal CBDs (Reinikainen, 1994).

L-Asparaginase is an enzyme product that acts primarily by inhibiting protein synthesis by depriving tumor cells of the amino acid asparagine. Cells that have the ability to form their own asparagine, such as many normal cells, are not affected by L-asparaginase. 

Insulin glulisine (rDNA origin) differs from human insulin in that the amino acid asparagine at position B3 is replaced by lysine and the lysine in position B29 is replaced by glutamic acid. Chemically, it is 3B-lysine-29B-glutamic acid-human insulin, and has the empirical formula C258H384N64078S6 and a MW of 5823.

Manabe et al. (2448) identified the A-heterocyclic amine l-methyl-6-phenyl-l//-imidazo[4,5-fc]pyridm-2-amine (PhIP) in CSC. By their addition to tobacco, Clapp (751) reported the contribution of varions individnal amino acids (asparagine, aspartic acid, arginine, glutamine, glutamic acid, histidine, proline, lysine, tryptophan, phenylalanine, creatine, creatinine) to the Ames test mutagenicity of cigarette MSS. 

Amino acids with side chains that contain an amide group (asparagine and glutamine) or a hydroxyl group (serine and threonine) can be classified as aliphatic, polar, uncharged amino acids. Asparagine and glutamine are amides of the amino... 

Because of the considerations just made, it is of interest to divide amino acids (see Fig. 10.3) into three classes (i) those that only contain G and/or C in the first and second positions of their codons (ii) those that only contain A and/or T and (iii) those that contain G and/or C as well as A and/or T. The GC class comprises four amino acids, alanine, arginine (quartet codons), glycine, and proline the AT class comprises seven amino acids, asparagine, isoleucine, leucine (duet codons), lysine, methionine, phenylala-...
