Pozo-Bayon et al. (2005) determined the amino acid composition of peptides from six fractions isolated from red and white wines that presented in vitro antihypertensive activity. They showed that the amino acids aspartic acid and/or asparagine, glutamic acid and/or glutamine valine, formed part of five of the six fractions studied, and threonine and alanine were present in four of these fractions. 

Although the precision of analysis with our present technology is often 1 to 3 %, the quantitative release of many amino acids and amino acid derivatives from proteins is often difficult and lowers the overall precision. For example, if constant-boiling HCl (about 5.7 N) is used to hydrolyze a protein in vacuo at 110°C for 24 hr (these conditions are those most commonly used), the amounts of aspartic acid, asparagine, serine, threonine, glutamic acid, glutamine, valine, isoleucine, methionine, tyrosine, tryptophan, cysteine and cystine present in the... 

The neutral amino acids alanine, serine, threonine, asparagine, glutamine, valine, leucine, isoleucine, phenylalanine, tyrosine, tryptophan, histidine and citrulline share a common transporter at the luminal border of the epithelial cells in the renal tubuli and the epithelial cells in the small intestine [16]. In Hartnup disorder an impairment of this transporter leads to hyperexcretion of these neutral amino acids and to intestinal malabsorption. Excretion of tryptophan metabolites kynurenine and N-methyl-nico-tinamide is reduced. Plasma concentrations of the affected amino acids may be low normal or reduced. The inheritance is autosomal recessive. The hph2-deficient mouse has been postulated as a model for Hartnup disorder [17]. Affected persons may be asymptomatic, while some demonstrate pellagra-like photodermatitis or cerebellar ataxia due to a nicotinamide deficiency and respond well to the administration of nicotinamide [16]. 

Included amino acids were alanine, arginine, aspartic acid, asparagine, glutamine, glutamic acid, glycine, histidine, isoleucine, leucine, lysine, methionine, phenylalanine, proline, serine, threanine, tryptophan, tyrosine, and valine. 

Yeast strains are grown on either standard yeast extract, peptone, glucose media (YPD) (1% (w/v) yeast extract, 2% (w/v) bactopeptone, and 2% (w/v) glucose) and supplemented with the appropriate antibiotic, or in synthetic complete media (SCD media) (0.17% (w/v) yeast nitrogen base. 0.5% (w/v) ammonium sulphate, 2% (w/v) glucose, and supplemented with 20 mg/1 arginine, 100 mg/1 aspartic acid, 100 mg/1 glutamine, 30 mg/1 isoleucine, 30 mg/llysine, 20 mg/1 methionine, 50 mg/1 phenylalanine, 400 mg/lserine, 200 mg/1 threonine, 30 mg/1 tyrosine, and 150 mg/1 valine. When needed, the media was also supplemented with 20 mg/1 adenine, 10 mg/1 leucine, 60 mg/1 histidine, 60 mg/1 tryptophan, and 20 mg/1 uracil).

The interaction with both synthetic and naturally occurring amino acids has been studied extensively glycine (138, 173, 219-221), a-(173, 219) and /3-alanine (138, 220), sarcosine (219), serine (222), aspartic acid (138, 173, 222-226), asparagine (222), threonine (222), proline (219), hydroxyproline (219), glutamic acid (138, 222-225), glutamine (222), valine (219, 227), norvaline (219), methionine (222, 226), histidine (228, 229), isoleucine (219), leucine (219, 230), norleu-cine (219), lysine (222), arginine (222), histidine methyl ester (228), phenylalanine (138, 222), tyrosine (222), 2-amino-3-(3,4-dihydroxy-phenyl jpropanoic acid (DOPA) (222), tryptophan (222), aminoiso-butyric acid (219), 2-aminobutyric acid (219,231), citrulline (222), and ornithine (222). 

Figure 15. a) The active site of WT HIV protease complexed with A-76889, an inhibitor with a bulky P3 residue. Note the relatively spacious S3 pocket made possible by the presence of the small glycine and valine residues, b) The active site of WT FIV protease complexed with TL-3, an inhibitor with a small P3 residue. Note the relatively small constrained S3 pocket due to the presence of the relatively large isoleucine and glutamine residues. 

In muscle, the concentrations of alanine, aspartate, glutamate, glutamine, leucine, serine and valine are high that of glutamine is the highest (c. 20mmol/L). The lowest are those of methionine, tryptophan and tyrosine. 

Branched-chain amino acids are leucine, isoleucine and valine the increased concentrations are also consistent with an increased rate of degradation, as muscle protein contains a high proportion of these amino acids. The extent of the decrease in ATP concentration is even greater than in exaustive physical activity. Note the very large fall is glutamine concentration. 

Especially in the case of high-molecular-weight surface-active substances (such as proteins), the period of change may be sufficiently prolonged to allow easy observation. This arises because proteins are surface active. All proteins behave as surface-active substances because of the presence of hydrophilic-lipophilic properties imparted from the different polar, such as glutamine and lysine, and apolar, such as alanine, valine, phenylalanine, isovaline, amino acids. Proteins have been extensively investigated as regards their polar-apolar characteristics as determined from surface activity.

Points of entry at various steps of the tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle, glycolysis and gluconeogenesis are shown for the carbons skeletons of the amino acids. Note the multiple fates of the glucogenic amino acids glycine (Gly), serine (Ser), and threonine (Thr) as well as the combined glucogenic and ketogenic amino acids phenylalanine (Phe), tryptophan (Trp), and tyrosine (Tyr).
