Rapid robust separation of hydroxyproline and proline.
The presence of hydroxyproline, and the determination of the ratio of the secondary amino acids proline to hydroxyproline, in amino acid hydrolysates specifically identifies collagen and collagen peptides. o-Phthalaldehyde, and then 9-fluorenylmethyl chloroformate, were used to carry out sequential prederivatization of amino acid hydrolysates in an in-line high-performance liquid chromatography...
متن کاملHuman Nutrition and Metabolism
The gastrointestinal tracts of breast-fed infants are colonized more easily with bifidobacteria than are those of formula-fed infants. Colonization is thought to reduce infant diarrhea. Amendments to formulas that improve colonization by bifidobacteria are being actively investigated. Colonization studies almost invariably require measurements of the concentration of the bifidobacteria in feces...
متن کاملProline metabolism and its implications for plant-environment interaction.
Proline has long been known to accumulate in plants experiencing water limitation and this has driven studies of proline as a beneficial solute allowing plants to increase cellular osmolarity during water limitation. Proline metabolism also has roles in redox buffering and energy transfer and is involved in plant pathogen interaction and programmed cell death. Some of these unique roles of prol...
متن کاملPrevalence of proline racemase/ hydroxyproline epimerase gene in human brucella isolates in Iran
Background: Human brucellosis is a zoonotic disease caused by Brucella melitensis, Brucella abortus, and Brucella suis. Brucella causes a chronic disease, which subverts the immune defense system of their hosts. In this study, the prevalence of an important Brucella virulence determinant, PrpA, which can modulate immune response, was determined in human isolates. Methods: Polymerase chain reac...
متن کاملMillets for Food and Nutrition Security in India: Determinants and Policy Implications
Background: Food security has been a target in India since its independence; the primary aim of food security is to ensure enough staple food for the entire population. Although substantial progress was made through the adoption of green revolution (GR) technologies and implementation of the food public distribution system (PDS), desirable food and nutrition security, as defined by the food and...
