Equilibrium absorption of carbon dioxide by amino acid salt and amine amino acid salt solutions

On the concomitant crystallization of amino acid crystals upon dissolution of some amino acid salt crystals†

The effect of salt solutions on the acceptance of amino acids by transfer ribonucleic acid.

The presence of dissolved salt during the enzymatic aminoacylation of transfer RNA diminishes the amount of aminoacyl-tRNA formed at the completion of the reaction. Experiments indicate that, although salt inhibits aminoacyltRNA synthetases, the diminution of the final level of aminoacylation is the result of salt-dependent changes in tRNA. tRNAs accepting different amino acids differ widely in...

Salt stress-induced proline transporters and salt stress-repressed broad specificity amino acid permeases identified by suppression of a yeast amino acid permease-targeting mutant.

A yeast mutant lacking SHR3, a protein specifically required for correct targeting of plasma membrane amino acid permeases, was used to study the targeting of plant transporters and as a tool to isolate new SHR3-independent amino acid transporters. For this purpose, an shr3 mutant was transformed with an Arabidopsis cDNA library. Thirty-four clones were capable of growth under selective conditi...

Primary Amino Acid Lithium Salt-Catalyzed Asymmetric Michael Addition of Carbon Nucleophiles to Enones

Asymmetric Michael addition of carbon nucleophiles, nitroalkanes and a β-ketoester, to enones was investigated by using a primary amino acid lithium salt as a catalyst.

Amino Acid Synthesis in a Supercritical Carbon Dioxide - Water System

Mars is a CO(2)-abundant planet, whereas early Earth is thought to be also CO(2)-abundant. In addition, water was also discovered on Mars in 2008. From the facts and theory, we assumed that soda fountains were present on both planets, and this affected amino acid synthesis. Here, using a supercritical CO(2)/liquid H(2)O (10:1) system which mimicked crust soda fountains, we demonstrate productio...
