Formation of homocitrulline during heating of milk.
Homocitrulline arises from the reaction between cyanate and the epsilon-amino group of lysine residues; in milk, cyanate derives from heat-induced urea breakdown. Since homocitrulline levels were unknown in heated milk, its formation was studied in the temperature range 100-150 degrees C. Firstly, an analysis method based on ion-exchange chromatography using an amino acid analyser was developed...
متن کاملStudy of carbamyl phosphate-ornithine transcarbamylase.
The enzyme carbamyl phosphate-ornithine transcarbamylase, which catalyzes the synthesis of citrulline from ornithine plus carbamyl phosphate, has been partially purified from rat liver by means of heat treatment and ethanol fractionation (1). Krebs et al. (2) were able to demonstrate the arsenolysis of citrulline in a number of tissues and, by using sheep liver mitochondria, were able to purify...
متن کاملA Kinetic Study of Carbamyl Phosphate Synthetase.
While it is clear from the stoichiometry of the over-all reaction (Reaction 3) that 2 moles of ATP are utilized per mole of carbamyl phosphate formed (l), equilibrium dialysis experiments indicated that only 1 mole of ATP was bound per mole of enzyme in the absence of acetylglutamate (2). In order to gain more information about the nature of ATP binding by carbamyl phosphate synthetase, kinetic...
متن کاملCarbamyl phosphate synthetases in rat liver neoplasms.
Isozymes of carbamyl phosphate synthetase (CPS), CPS I, a mitochondrial enzyme found exclusively in liver and involved in urea synthesis, and of CPS II, a soluble cytoplasmic enzyme widely distributed in animal tissues, were assayed in rat liver and in a series of rat liver neoplasms ranging widely in growth rate and degree of differentiation. CPS I was absent from fast-growing, poorly differen...
متن کاملCarbamyl phosphate-aspartate transcarbamylase activity in tumors.
The enzyme carbamyl phosphate-aspartate transcarbamylase catalyzes the transfer of the carbamyl group from carbamyl phosphate (CP) to L-aspartate ($). Preliminary experiments with a series of six relatively advanced azo dye-induced hepatomas indicated that hepatoma tissue had a higher CP-aspartate transcarbamylase activity than did liver from normal animals. Experiments are reported here in whi...
