The amino acids L-leucine, T-phenylalanine, L-tyrosine, and L-tryptophan all taste bitter, whereas their D-enantiomers taste sweet (5) (see Amino ACIDS). D-Penicillamine [52-67-5] a chelating agent used to remove heavy metals from the body, is a relatively nontoxic dmg effective in the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis, but T.-penicillamine [1113-41 -3] produces optic atrophy and subsequent blindness (6). T.-Penicillamine is roughly eight times more mutagenic than its enantiomer. Such enantioselective mutagenicity is likely due to differences in renal metaboHsm (7). (R)-ThaHdomide (3) is a sedative—hypnotic (3)-thaHdomide (4) is a teratogen (8). 

Textiles. Citric acid acts as a buffer in the manufacture of glyoxal resins which are used to give textiles a high quaUty durable-press finish (see Amino resins). It has been reported to increase the soil-release property of cotton with wrinkle-resistant finishes and is used as a buffer, a chelating agent, and a non-volatile acid to adjust pH in disperse dying operations (182—193). 

The extracellular domain of cadherins consists of a variable number of a repeated sequence of about 110 amino acids. This sequence is termed the cadherin repeat and resembles in overall structure, but not in sequence, the Ig like domains. The cadherin repeat is the characteristic motive common to all members of the cadherin superfamily. Classical and desmosomal cadherins contain five cadherin repeats, but as many as 34 repeats have been found in the FAT cadherin (see below). Cadherins are calcium-dependent cell adhesion molecules, which means that removal of Ca2+, e.g., by chelating agents such as EDTA, leads to loss of cadherin function. The Ca2+-binding pockets are made up of amino acids from two consecutive cadherin repeats, which form a characteristic tertiary structure to coordinate a single Ca2+ion [1]. 

In addition to phenolic substances, there are other components present in foods which have no antioxidant activity of their own, but which increase that of phenolic antioxidants. They are called synergists, and they should be accounted for in any discussion of antioxidant activity. Polyvalent organic acids, amino acids, phospholipids (lecithin) and various chelating agents belong to this group. Proteins may modify the efficiency of antioxidants as they react with the reaction products of both antioxidants and synergists.

Amidocarbonylation converts aldehydes into amido-substituted amino acids, which have many important industrial applications ranging from pharmaceuticals to detergents and metal-chelating agents.588 Two catalyst systems have been developed, a cobalt-based system and, more recently a palladium-based system. In the cobalt system, alkenes can be used as the starting material, thus conducting alkene-hydroformylation, formation of hemi-amidal and carbonylation in one pot as...

Reaction with chelating agents. Such reactions have been used primarily for partial dealumination of Y zeolites. In 1968, Kerr (8,21) reported the preparation of aluminum-deficient Y zeolites by extraction of aluminum from the framework with EDTA. Using this method, up to about 50 percent of the aluminum atoms was removed from the zeolite in the form of a water soluble chelate, without any appreciable loss in zeolite crystallinity. Later work (22) has shown that about 80 percent of framework aluminum can be removed with EDTA, while the zeolite maintains about 60 to 70 percent of its initial crystallinity. Beaumont and Barthomeuf (23-25) used acetylacetone and several amino-acid-derived chelating agents for the extraction of aluminum from Y zeolites. Dealumination of Y zeolites with tartaric acid has also been reported (26). A mechanism for the removal of framework aluminum by EDTA has been proposed by Kerr (8). It involves the hydrolysis of Si-O-Al bonds, similar to the scheme in Figure 1A, followed by formation of a soluble chelate between cationic, non-framework aluminum and EDTA. 

Other reports concerning chemically modified amino acid as metal chelating agents used for the carbonic anhydrase active site model reconstruction are in close agreement with the small contribution of Zn(II) binding to the proton chemical shift variation discussed above. NMR experiments carried out in DMSO-rfg, at 300 K, and the observed...
