Standard amino acids, described table

To demonstrate the use of binary substructure descriptors and Tanimoto indices for cluster analysis of chemical structures we consider the 20 standard amino acids (Figure 6.3) and characterize each molecular structure by eight binary variables describing presence/absence of eight substructures (Figure 6.4). Note that in most practical applications—for instance, evaluation of results from searches in structure databases—more diverse molecular structures have to be handled and usually several hundred different substructures are considered. Table 6.1 contains the binary substructure descriptors (variables) with value 0 if the substructure is absent and 1 if the substructure is present in the amino acid these numbers form the A-matrix. Binary substructure descriptors have been calculated by the software SubMat (Scsibrany and Varmuza 2004), which requires as input the molecular structures in one file and the substructures in another file, all structures are in Molfile format (Gasteiger and Engel 2003) output is an ASCII file with the binary descriptors. 

Prepare a table of R values for the standard amino acids. You should also describe the color of the original ninhydrin spot. Since the colors vary slightly with the amino acids, this aids in the identification of an unknown amino acid. Calculate the R values for the constituent amino acids of the unknown peptide. From these data you should be able to identify the amino acids present in your unknown. 

Table 4.1 Effect of selected thiols, disulphides, amino acids and antioxidants on the time to the onset and the time to reach maximal ischaemic contracture in isolated perfused rat hearts. Hearts were perfused for a control period of 10 min at the end of which global low-flow (10% of control) ischaemia was initiated. The interventions described above were included in the perfusion fluid 5 min prior to the onset and throughout the ischaemic period. The data are shown as means standard errors of the means (n = 6)...

Prepare a table of HPLC elution time values for each of the standard FMOC amino acids used in this experiment. FMOC amino acids usually elute from a reversed phase column in the following order (from first to last) Gly, Ala, Val, Phe, and Leu. Describe how the order of elution is related to the relative polarity of the FMOC amino acids. The FMOC reagent during the derivatization reaction often undergoes hydrolysis to a decar-boxylated form of FMOC. This product, an alcohol called FMOH, usually elutes from the HPLC column between Val and Phe or between Ala and Val. Use the standard elution times to identify the unknown amino acids present in the original dipeptide.

Fig. 3. Map of Ri values of the amino acid standard solution separated on TLC microplates as described in Section 4.5. The numbers correspond to the amino acids listed in Table 2, and the dotted circles to the position of some amino acids commonly found in biological fluids which are not present in the standard solution.

The compositions and properties of the Valery ampoules are described in armotations. We succeeded in combining a glycine amino acid, widely used vitamin and antioxidant (ascorbic acid) with a biostimulator, antidote and strong Cresazin antioxidant in Trecresan-C gel. Our Cresazin is superior as an antidote and antioxidant to the classical standards — succinic, ascorbic and folic acids, and vitamin E (a-tocopherol) (Tables 1,2).
