THE metabolic significance of transaminases in nervous tissues has recently been reviewed by Bonavita 1. His paper reveals that interest in transanimations of amino-acids in nervous tissues solely ...

THE isolation of γ-methylene-glutamine and γ-methylene-glutamic acid from groundnut plants has been described 1. More recent studies, in which an attempt has been made to obtain information regarding ...

Scripps Research chemists have proposed a solution to the mystery of why life’s essential molecules occur in only one chiral form, suggesting kinetic resolution as a key mechanism. Their studies ...

While much progress has been made in developing prebiotically plausible synthetic chemical routes to RNA, DNA, and peptides, as well as in prebiotic metabolic pathways, the question of the emergence ...

Seba’s new name, Amina, stems from “transamination,” meaning transference of one compound to another, symbolizing bringing different types of banking together. Major Swiss cryptocurrency-enabled bank ...

This contribution is part of the special series of Inaugural Articles by members of the National Academy of Sciences elected in 2021. While much progress has been made in developing prebiotically ...

Background: Abnormal branched-chained amino acids (BCAA) accumulation in cardiomyocytes is associated with cardiac remodeling in heart failure. Administration of branched-chain α-keto acid ...

Amino acids are molecules fundamental to living organisms because they combine to build proteins, the workhorses of the cell. One metabolic pathway that produces amino acids involves transamination, a ...

Synchrotron Radiation Research Section, Macromolecular Crystallography Laboratory, National Cancer Institute, Argonne, IL, United States The transamination reaction catalyzed by PSAT consists of two ...
