چکیده
The autocatalytic system, N-phospho-a-amino acids, could not only self-assemble into oligo-peptides but also act as the phosphorylation reagents to phosphorylate the nucleosides into nucleotides and oligo-nucleotides, in aqueous medium. While, the b-amino acids did not have such properties.

Amino acids interacting with defected carbon nanotubes: ab initio calculations
The adsorption of a number of amino acids on a defected single-walled carbon nanotube (SWCNT) isinvestigated by using the density-functional theory (DFT) calculations. The adsorption energies andequilibrium distances are calculated for various configurations such as amino acid attaching to defectsites heptagon, pentagon and hexagon in defective tube and also for several molecular orientationswi...
متن کاملWhy nature chose phosphate to modify proteins.
The advantageous chemical properties of the phosphate ester linkage were exploited early in evolution to generate the phosphate diester linkages that join neighbouring bases in RNA and DNA (Westheimer 1987 Science 235, 1173-1178). Following the fixation of the genetic code, another use for phosphate ester modification was found, namely reversible phosphorylation of the three hydroxyamino acids,...
متن کاملC-Terminal Propeptide of BKA has a Protease Sensitive Structure Without any Inhibitory Effect on BKA
In our previous study, we compared the two α-amylase enzymes from Bacillus sp.KR8104, BKA∆(N44) and BKA∆(N44C193) which is the secreted form of it. The results indicated that the presence of 193 amino acids propeptide in the C-terminal of BKA∆(N44) changed its enzymatic parameters like an uncompetitive inhibitor in comparison to BKA∆(N44C193). In the present study, we cloned the DNA sequence of...
متن کاملA Review on Recent Findings on Amino Acids Requirements in Poult-Studies
Amino acids (AA) are important in poultry nutrition not only for protein deposition, but also for other metabolic functions; such as improving immune and gut functions. Although, some table values are available on amino acids requirement, AA requirements may vary due to changes in dietary composition and breeding selection. Thus amino acids requirements have remained an ongoing research topic. ...
متن کاملEfficacy of Spraying a Mixture of Amino Acids on the Physiological and Morphological Characteristics of Tuberose (Polianthes tuberosa L.)
Tuberose (Polianthes tuberosa L.) is one of the most important cut flowers in Iran. This research was conducted to investigate the effects of spraying a mixture of amino acids on the physiological and morphological characteristics of tuberose. The experiment was carried out in two successive years (2009 and 2010) using two tuberose cultivars ‘Dezfuli’ and ‘Mahallati’. The experiment was arrange...
