Inhibition of Collagenase by Mycosporine-like Amino Acids from Marine Sources.
Matrix metalloproteinases play an important role in extracellular matrix remodeling. Excessive activity of these enzymes can be induced by UV light and leads to skin damage, a process known as photoaging. In this study, we investigated the collagenase inhibition potential of mycosporine-like amino acids, compounds that have been isolated from marine organisms and are known photoprotectants agai...
متن کاملDissolved free amino acids, combined amino acids, and DNA as sources of carbon and nitrogen to marine bacteria
Utilization of naturally-occurring dissolved free and combined amino acids (DFAA and DCAA) and dissolved DNA (D-DNA) was studied in batch cultures of bacteria from 2 shallow marine environments, Santa Rosa Sound (SRS), Florida. USA, and Flax Pond (FP), Long Island, New York, USA. In addition to control experiments, cultures were enriched with various sources of C and N. In the SRS cultures, net...
متن کاملAmino acids as energy sources
To discuss amino acids as energy sources seems at first sight a rather bizarre notion. It is not that there are any particular difficulties in accepting the concept, but rather that it seems a somewhat extravagant or whimsical idea, rather like a discussion of caviar as a pig food. Nevertheless, the topic does merit discussion. For some animals protein regularly predominates in the diet. In adu...
متن کاملRacemization of amino acids in marine sediments.
Isoleucine, one of several amino acids isolated from a suite of welldated deep-sea cores, shows a progressive increase in the degree of racemization with the age of the sediment. Amino acids in sediments show an initial rate of racemization almost an order of magnitude faster than the rate observed for free amino acids at a comparable pH and temperature. The observed kinetics depend on a variet...
متن کاملMarine planktonic archaea take up amino acids.
Archaea are traditionally thought of as "extremophiles," but recent studies have shown that marine planktonic Archaea make up a surprisingly large percentage of ocean midwater microbial communities, up to 60% of the total prokaryotes. However, the basic physiology and contribution of Archaea to community microbial activity remain unknown. We have studied Archaea from 200-m depths of the northwe...
