AN INDEX REPRESENTING STRUCTURE-CATABOLIC FATE RELATIONSHIPS OF AMINO ACIDS
نویسندگان: ثبت نشده
چکیده مقاله:
Based on the Randic suggestion of the resolution of a structure into shape, size, and function an index representing structure-catabolic fate relationships of amino acids is constructed. The index obtained by multiplying three factors; (nb2 + nr), nc and M; representing shape, size and function respectively, where nb2 = number of double bonds, nr = number of rings, nc = number of carbon atoms, and M = molecular weight. A systematics of amino acids is obtained and a correlation is observed between the index value and the catabolic fate.

متن کاملCatabolic Defect of Branched-Chain Amino Acids Promotes Heart Failure.
BACKGROUND Although metabolic reprogramming is critical in the pathogenesis of heart failure, studies to date have focused principally on fatty acid and glucose metabolism. Contribution of amino acid metabolic regulation in the disease remains understudied. METHODS AND RESULTS Transcriptomic and metabolomic analyses were performed in mouse failing heart induced by pressure overload. Suppressi...
متن کاملStructure-function relationships in an antifreeze polypeptide. The role of neutral, polar amino acids.
An alanine-rich, alpha-helical antifreeze polypeptide (AFP) from the winter flounder and seven analogs with variations in the arrangement of neutral, polar amino acids were synthesized. Circular dichroism studies determined that all of the peptides, except for one containing a proline residue, were essentially 100% alpha-helical. Freezing point depression data, analyzed by three methods, showed...
متن کاملProtein primary structure: Amino acids
Numerous biological functions are performed by proteins. These include oxygen transport and storage (hemoglobin and myoglobin, respectively), muscle functioning (titin), growth of bones (collagen), cell adhesion (fibronectin) etc. The diversity in functions suggests a wide diversity in protein structures. Indeed, proteins show remarkable variation in size and shape. The largest protein, titin, ...
متن کاملStructure/function relationships of lipoteichoic acids.
The role of lipoteichoic acids (LTAs) from Gram-positive bacteria as immunostimulatory molecules was controversial for many years, as inadequate preparation methods as well as heterogeneous and endotoxin-contaminated commercial preparations led to conflicting results. An improved purification methodology for LTA now yields potent bioactive and chemically defined material, which is currently bei...
متن کاملStructure-based conformational preferences of amino acids.
Proteins can be very tolerant to amino acid substitution, even within their core. Understanding the factors responsible for this behavior is of critical importance for protein engineering and design. Mutations in proteins have been quantified in terms of the changes in stability they induce. For example, guest residues in specific secondary structures have been used as probes of conformational ...
