A method for highly sensitive detection of D-amino acids
D-amino acids have recently attracted much attention in various research fields including medical, cliDical and food industry due to their important biological functions that differ from l-amino acid; thus, there has been an increasing need to develop
Access to modified peptides with heterocycle backbones using combinatorial chemistry
Applications of peptides in medicinal chemistry have several inherent limitations which can be resolved by use of peptide-like molecules. The cleavage of amide bond by proteases, low permeability, rapid metabolic processing, excretion and unwanted side effects are
Ultra Quick sample preparation prior to GC-MS based metabolomics
Metabolomics is a comprehensive study of low molecular weight compounds in biological samples and has been applied to wide range of research areas from medical to food analysis. For the analysis of metabolites, gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC/MS)
氨基酸转运体说法fusogenic partner: an essential role in placenta, and its implications for physiological and pathological cell fusion
Placenta is an essential organ for the fetal development of eutherian mammals. For the functions of placenta such as nutrient supply, gas exchange, metabolic waste elimination, and immunological protection, the maternal- and fetal blood circulations in the
How selenium is incorporated into proteins: structural view of selenocysteine ‘recoding’
Selenium is an essential micronutrient for human health. It is present in proteins as a special amino acid, selenocysteine, which is the so-called 21st amino acid. Selenocysteine resembles serine and cysteine, where the selenium atom (Se) replaces
