Amino acids processing

In an inciteful discussion of insect-microbe relationships, Jones (10) postulated that insect-microbial associations, known to involve catabolic (e.g. cellulose-degrading) and anabolic (e.g. biosynthesis of vitamins, sterols, and amino acids) processes necessary to the survival of the host, could also include detoxification abilities. Most investigations in this area have been limited (11). Nevertheless, some studies indicate detoxification of terpenoids (12,...

Hydantoinase-Carbamoylase System for t-Amino Acid Synthesis Despite a number of reports of strains with L-selechve hydantoin-hydrolyzing enzymes [38] the commercial application of the hydantoinase process is stiU restricted to the production of D-amino acids. Processes for the production of L-amino acids are Umited by low space-time yields and high biocatalyst costs. Recently, a new generation of an L-hydantoinase process was developed based on a tailor-made recombinant whole cell biocatalyst. Further reduction of biocatalyst cost by use of recombinant Escherichia coli cells overexpressing hydantoinase, carbamoylase, and hydantoin racemase from Arthrohacter sp. DSM 9771 were achieved. To improve the hydan-toin-converting pathway, the level of expression of the different genes was balanced on the basis of their specific activities. The system has been appUed to the preparation of L-methionine the space-time yield is however still Umited [39]. Improvements in the deracemization process from rac-5-substituted hydantoins to L-amino acids still requires a more selective L-hydantoinase.

The heterocyclic character of caramels from ammonia and amino acid processes may suggest that such caramels may be quatemized by metal ions to form metal coordination compounds. Indeed, such complexes with Cu, Cd " ", Ni " ", and Zn have been found, and studied by Agarwal and co-workers. Because caramel may be a transporter of ions in solution, it has been the subject of a study of its surface activity and its usefulness as a brightener in electroplating baths. ... 

The mechanism of the entry of fructose into the Maillard reaction (a series of sugar/amino acid processes in vivo) has been studied by DFT the order of reactivity for the isomers is predicted as a- > /3- > open-chain. Heyns rearrangement products are most favourable under basic conditions, possible under neutral conditions, but unfeasible at or below glycine s isoelectric point. Kinetic and activation parameters have been reported for the corresponding glucose/proline reaction. ...

H2N-CH2 [CH2j3.CH(NH2) COOH. Colourless needles, m.p. 224 C (decomp.), very soluble in water, insoluble in alcohol. L-(-H)-Lysine is one of the basic amino-acids occurring in particularly large quantities in the protamine and histone classes of proteins. It is an essential amino-acid, which cannot be synthesized by the body and must be present in the food for proper growth. It can be manufactured by various fermentation processes or by synthesis. 

Luminescence has been used in conjunction with flow cells to detect electro-generated intennediates downstream of the electrode. The teclmique lends itself especially to the investigation of photoelectrochemical processes, since it can yield mfonnation about excited states of reactive species and their lifetimes. It has become an attractive detection method for various organic and inorganic compounds, and highly sensitive assays for several clinically important analytes such as oxalate, NADH, amino acids and various aliphatic and cyclic amines have been developed. It has also found use in microelectrode fundamental studies in low-dielectric-constant organic solvents. 

Studies of electrical interactions in proteins, polypeptides, and amino acids started over 60 years ago [1]. To a large extent, electrostatic properties of proteins are determined by the ability of certain amino acids to exchange protons with their environment and the dependence of these processes on pH. The proton occupies a special position as a promoter and iiuxliator in... 

The industrial process for preparing the reagent usually permits a little hydrolysis to occur, and the product may contain a little free calcium hydroxide or basic chloride. It cannot therefore be employed for drying acids or acidic liquids. Calcium chloride combines with alcohols, phenols, amines, amino-acids, amides, ketones, and some aldehydes and esters, and thus cannot be used with these classes of compounds.

When the cell requires instructions for protein production, part of the code on DNA, starting at an initiator and ending at a stop codon, is converted into a more mobile form by transferring the DNA code into a matching RNA code on a messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA), a process known as transcription. The decoding, or translation, of mRNA then takes place by special transfer ribonucleic acids (tRNA), which recognize individual codons as amino acids. The sequence of amino acids is assembled into a protein (see Proteins section). In summary, the codes on DNA...
