Search Results - Amino acid

Type in a word or phrase to search, you can also type in Article ID's separated by commas:

In chemistry, an amino acid is a molecule containing both amine and carboxyl functional groups. In biochemistry, this term refers to alpha-amino acids with the general formula H2NCHRCOOH, where R is an organic substituent.[1] In the alpha amino acids, the amino and carboxylate groups are attached to the same carbon, which is called the a–carbon. The various alpha amino acids differ in which side chain (R group) is attached to their alpha carbon. They can vary in size from just a hydrogen atom in glycine through a methyl group in alanine to a large heterocyclic group in tryptophan.

Beyond the amino acids that are found in all forms of life, many non-natural amino acids have vital roles in technology and industry. For example, the chelating agents EDTA and nitrilotriacetic acid are alpha amino acids that are important in the chemical industry.

Alpha-amino acids are the building blocks of proteins. Amino acids combine in a condensation reaction, that is, through dehydration synthesis, that releases water and the new "amino acid residue" that is held together by a peptide bond. Proteins are defined by their unique sequence of amino acid residues; this sequence is the primary structure of the protein. Just as the letters of the alphabet can be combined to form an almost endless variety of words, amino acids can be linked in varying sequences to form a vast variety of proteins.

Twenty standard amino acids are used by cells in protein biosynthesis, and these are specified by the general genetic code. These 20 amino acids are biosynthesized from other molecules, but organisms differ in which ones they can synthesize and which ones must be provided in their diet. The ones that cannot be synthesized by an organism are called essential amino acids.

3. Training Techniques: Training Massive Muscles
November 21, 2008

Water also plays an important role in being able to flush vital nutrients like amino acids and vitamins through our body. This allows our muscle tissues to be adequately bathed in nutrients and provides the tissued with the perfect conditions for getting increased muscle gains. Obviously this would not be the case in low water intake conditions and it would cause a critical reduction in L-glutamine amino acid levels which will prevent muscle development. I think it is quite clear water is crucial for muscle development and I would also recommend extra L-glutamine amino acid supplement in your ... (read more)

9. Long R3 IGF-1 is significantly more potent than IGF-1
November 03, 2008

IGF-1 is a growth-promoting polypeptide that is essential for normal growth and development. Long R3 IGF-1 is an 83 amino acid analog of IGF-1 encapsulating the complete human IGF-1 sequence with the substition of an Arg(R) for the Glu(E) at position three, hence R3, and a 13 amino acid extension peptide at the N terminus. This analog of IGF-1 has been produced with the purpose of increasing the biological activity of the IGF peptide. Long R3 IGF-1 is significantly more potent than IGF-1. The enhanced potency is due to the decreased binding of Long R3 IGF-1 to all known IGF binding protei... (read more)

10. The Little Known Micro-Nutrients That are Critical in the Battle Against Anti Aging
November 03, 2008

Nutritional science is becoming increasingly interested in the potential of certain micro-nutrients, which appear to be of particular significance in the battle against aging. These so-called anti-aging micro-nutrients include lipoic acid, and the amino acid, carnitine. Both lipoic acid and carnitine are manufactured naturally by the body through the normal metabolism of food, but what is particularly interesting to anti-aging researchers is that the body’s ability to synthesize both these compounds appears to decline significantly with advancing age. Both lipoic acid and carnitine, the ... (read more)

13. Detailed Information on Maple Syrup Urine Disease
October 20, 2008

Maple Syrup Urine Disease (MSUD) is a disorder abnormally affecting the metabolism of amino acids. The disorder impresses the way the body metabolizes certain components of protein. These components are the three branch-chain amino-acids leucine, isoleucine, and valine. These amino acids accumulate in the blood causing a toxic effect that interferes with brain function. MSUD is caused by a deficiency of the metabolic enzyme branched-chain a-keto acid dehydrogenase (BCKDH), leading to a buildup of the branched-chain amino acids (leucine, isoleucine, and valine) and their toxic by-products in t...

September 20, 2008

Proteins are the building blocks of your body. They're everywhere: muscles, bones, skin, enzymes, hormones... Dietary proteins are used to repairs tissue, regulate water and acid-base balance, support hormone production, and supply energy when food intake is restricted. Proteins are made of amino acids. There are 20. Nine of these are essential and the other 11 are non-essential. "Essential" means that they are required for health and growth but that your body can't manufacture them. So you must eat them. But don't worry: in most developed countries (US included), people generally eat enoug... (read more)

20. Introduction To B6 Vitamin
September 11, 2008

The B6 vitamin, also known as pyridoxine, is one of the most versatile of the B vitamins and yet the body only requires a relatively small amount. The B6 vitamin works closely with all the other B vitamins, especially niacin, folic acid, and Cobalamin and contributes to numerous functions in the body. Amino acids are converted by the B6 vitamin into proteins and it is also required for transforming stored sugar within the body into essential energy. Basically, the B6 vitamin is essential for converting the proteins that are consumed into proteins that the body needs and also for converting the... (read more)
