L-Amino acid oxidase (LAAO) is a flavin adenine dinucleotide (FAD)-dependent enzyme active on most proteinogenic L-amino acids, catalysing their conversion to α-keto acids by oxidative deamination of the substrate. For this oxidation reaction, molecular oxygen used as electron acceptor, generating hydrogen peroxide. LAAO can be detect for production peroxide an agent or antimicrobial agent, and...

Amino-acid neurotransmitter system dysfunction plays a major role in the pathophysiology of depression. Several studies have demonstrated the potential of amino acids as a source of neuro-specific biomarkers could be used in future diagnosis of depression. Only partial amino acids such as glycine and asparagine were determined from certain parts of rats' brain included hippocampi and cerebral c...

Diastereoselective Ugi reactions of DMAP-based aldehydes with α-amino acids and tert-butyl isocyanide were examined. The reactions of 4-(dimethylamino)-2-pyridinecarboxaldehyde with various α-amino acids afforded 2-substituted DMAP derivatives with low diastereoselectivity. On the contrary, reactions with 4-(dimethylamino)-3-pyridinecarboxaldehyde delivered 3-substituted DMAP derivatives with m...

securigera securidaca (l.) degen & dorfl grows in different parts of iran. the seeds of the species are used in iranian folk medicine as an anti-diabetic agent. many studies have established hypoglycemic effects of amino acids and in the present investigation, amino acids of securigera securidaca seeds have been evaluated. the ground seeds were extracted using petroleum ether, hot ethanol a...

Rhodium/chiral diene complex-catalyzed asymmetric addition of arylboronic acids to cyclic ketimines having an ester group proceeded to give the corresponding α-amino acid derivatives in high yields with high enantioselectivity. The cyclic amino acid derivative was transformed into a linear α,α-diaryl-substituted α-N-methylamino acid ester.

Abstract The designed β 2,3 unnatural amino acids have been synthesized from α‐methyl‐β‐hydroxycarbamides via direct azidation without obtaining eliminated products. Furthermore, these were utilized to synthesize cyclic tetrapeptides (CTPs) as azumamide analogs. 2D‐NMR analysis revealed the compact secondary structure a single conformer. Presence of intramolecular H‐bonding in CTPs was observed...

As natural plant growth stimulators, amino acids are widely used to improve the yield and quality of crops. Change in enzymes activities of N assimilation (NR, NiR and GS), residual nitrate (NO3-), soluble protein content, and yield of spinach and lettuce plants were investigated under replacing 20% nitrate-N in the nutrient solution by L-glycine and blood meal amino acids. Seeds of the mention...
