Amino acid (AA)-to-crude protein (CP) ratios in soybean meal (SBM) may be different for sources of SBM depending on the presence additional hulls. Therefore, this study was conducted to develop novel two-slope equations predict concentrations AAs using CP as an independent variable. Regression analyses were performed with each AA dependent variable and Among all AAs, predicted Lys (% dry matter...

pearl millet has tolerance to harsh growing conditions such as drought. it is at least equivalent to maize and generally superior to sorghum in protein content and metabolizable energy levels. thus it is of importance for poultry feeding. amino acid (aa) determination is expensive and time consuming. therefore nutritionists have prompted a search for alternatives to estimate aa levels. traditio...

This study showed that the antigenicity of a malarial epitope increased with the length of the epitope when inserted at positions aa26 (amino acid position 26) and aa196, but not at aa213, of the Pseudomonas aeruginosa major outer membrane protein OprF (326 amino acids). Immunization studies showed that a 19-aa epitope was significantly more immunogenic than a 7-aa epitope when inserted at aa26...

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. ...

Amyloid A (AA) amyloidosis, a fatal systemic amyloid disease, occurs secondary to chronic inflammatory conditions in humans. Although persistently elevated serum amyloid A (SAA) levels are required for its pathogenesis, not all individuals with chronic inflammation necessarily develop AA amyloidosis. Furthermore, many diseases in cats are associated with the elevated production of SAA, whereas ...

Aminoacyl-tRNAs (aa-tRNAs) are the essential substrates for translation. Most aa-tRNAs are formed by direct aminoacylation of tRNA catalyzed by aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases. However, a smaller number of aa-tRNAs (Asn-tRNA, Gln-tRNA, Cys-tRNA and Sec-tRNA) are made by synthesizing the amino acid on the tRNA by first attaching a non-cognate amino acid to the tRNA, which is then converted to the cog...

Examination of the entire von Willebrand factor (VWF) gene for mutations, particularly in types 1 and 3 von Willebrand disease (VWD) is becoming more widely practised. The sequence of the entire VWF gene will soon be compiled as a single sequence. For these reasons, a clearly defined nomenclature to use for numbering the VWF nucleotide and amino acid sequence is required. The following recommen...

Human defensins HNP-1 and -3 are broad spectrum antimicrobial peptides that are synthesized by human neutrophils as 94 amino acid (aa) precursors that require proteolytic removal of 64 amino-terminal residues to produce the mature defensins. Recent studies have shown that the early proteolytic processing events include two sequential cleavages, each removing 19 amino-terminal aa residues, that ...
