Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Physiology of the Amino Acids During the past few years the physiology of the amino acids has been subjected to much experimenta tion with the result that these protein cleavage prod ucts have assumed an ever increasing importance in the problems associated with nitrogenous metabolism. Owing largely to our too recent appreciation of the significance of these substances in metabolic processes there exists at present no compilation which f ur nishes an adequate conception of the roles which may be played by the amino acids. It has been, therefore, the aim of the writer to gather together in one place the results which have thus far been obtained in the field of the biochemistry of the amino acids, thus affording the busy practitioner, and others whose resources for consulting original communications are limited, an Opportunity of gaining a knowledge of the present-day problems in this field of nutrition. In the accomplishment of this purpose the writer has made no effort to include all the details or all the literature available upon a given topic, but has sought rather to indicate leading lines of thought. At the end of each chapter are given references in which all the impor tant literature upon the topic discussed is cited. It is assumed that the reader is familiar with the fundamental principles of metabolism, hence, in gen eral, these have been omitted. The author is deeply indebted to Professor Lafay ette B. Mendel for suggestions, criticisms of the manuscript and for some of the plates presented. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Chemistry and Biochemistry of the Amino Acids written by Graham Barrett and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 694 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Amino acids are featured in course syllabuses and in project and research work over a wide spectrum of subject areas in chemistry and biology. Chemists and biochemists using amino acids have many common needs when they turn to the literature for comprehensive information. Among these common interests, analytical studies, in particular, have undergone rapid development in recent years. All other chemical and biochemical aspects of amino acids - synthesis, properties and reactions, preparation of derivatives for use in peptide synthesis, racemization and other fundamental mechanistic knowledge - have been the subject of vigorous progress. This book offers a thorough treatment of all these developing areas, and is structured in the belief that biochemists, physiologists and others will profit from access to information on topics such as the physical chemistry of amino acid solutions, as well as from thorough coverage of amino acid metabolism, biosynthesis and enzyme inhibition; and that chemists will find relevant material in biological areas as well as in the analysis, synthesis and reactions of amino acids.

Download or read book Amino Acids written by Guoyao Wu and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2013-04-22 with total page 507 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Amino acid biochemistry and nutrition spans a broad range of fields including biochemistry, metabolism, physiology, immunology, reproduction, pathology, and cell biology. In the last half-century, there have been many conceptual and technical advancements, from analysis of amino acids by high-performance liquid chromatography and mass spectrometry to molecular cloning of transporters for amino acids and small peptides. Amino Acids: Biochemistry and Nutrition presents comprehensive coverage of these scientific developments, providing a useful reference for students and researchers in both biomedicine and agriculture. The text begins with the discoveries and basic concepts of amino acids, peptides, and proteins, and then moves to protein digestion and absorption of peptides and amino acids. Additional chapters cover cell-, tissue-, and species-specific synthesis and catabolism of amino acids and related nitrogenous substances, as well as the use of isotopes to study amino acid metabolism in cells and the body. The book also details protein synthesis and degradation, regulation of amino acid metabolism, physiological functions of amino acids, and inborn errors of amino acid metabolism. The final chapter discusses dietary requirements of amino acids by humans and other animals. While emphasizing basic principles and classical concepts of amino acid biochemistry and nutrition, the author includes recent progress in the field. This book also provides concise coverage of major historical developments of the scientific discipline, so that readers will appreciate the past, understand the current state of the knowledge, and explore the future of the field. Each chapter contains select references to provide comprehensive reviews and original experimental data on the topics discussed.

This book was released on 2015-07-01 with total page 506 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Physical Chemistry of the Proteins The Proteins, with which, as its title indicates, this work has most particularly to deal, have, ever since the publication of the classic researches of Graham, been generally recognized as typical examples of that class of substances which Graham designated "Colloids." This work, therefore, although primarily concerned with the physical chemistry of a limited section of the class, may also, in some measure, be regarded as contributing to an analysis of the properties and behavior of colloids in general, in so far as these permit of illustration by the properties and behavior of the various members of the protein group. The leading problems in every field of chemical investigation are, to a large extent, determined by the salient properties of the substances which form the subject of inquiry, and for this reason a thorough acquaintance with what may be termed the "descriptive chemistry" of any group of substances is prerequisite to a successful attempt to interpret their behavior. If we were to endeavor to interpret the behavior of the proteins solely in the light of preconceptions derived from the study of the chemistry of the metals, for example, or the simpler organic compounds, we would find that the behavior of the proteins displays merely a bewildering variety of inconsistencies. Their "amphoteric" character, their multiple basicity and acidity, their instability in aqueous solution and, above all, the enormous mass and catenary configuration of their molecules, confer upon them properties which are comparatively unfamiliar in other fields of chemistry or else exaggerate properties which are normally displayed by the simpler chemical bodies only to a comparatively negligible degree. The proteins in this respect are not exceptional. Thus the mode of investigation and the interpretation of the behavior of the various lipoids must primarily be conditioned by their very general insolubility in water and instability in the presence of oxygen.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There is little wonder in the fact that the investigation of amino acids is of fundamental interest to scientists from so many diversified fields. If amino acids were only basic constituents of enzymes as well as structural and other proteins, this property alone would elevate them to real scientific importance. Added to this role, however, is their ability to serve as building blocks for the production of many classes of secondary metabolites. They can support the biosynthesis of a myriad of natural products including nonprotein amino acids, cyanogenic glycosides, phar macologically active alkaloids, certain phenols, purines and pyrimidines, nucleic acids, condensed tannins, lignins and other metabolites. The approximately twenty or so amino (and imino) acids that comprise proteins are well known; less familiar are what is now approaching 600 nonprotein amino acids that have been isolated and characterized from plant, fungal or animal sources. Investigations of the protein amino acids have proven of outstanding value in enhancing our understanding of a variety of physiological and neurological topics that affect human health and well being. Amino acids are used to probe inhibitory and excitatory transmission receptors in the brain. They contribute to our understanding of epilepsy, development of anti-epileptic drugs, production of novel y-arninobutyric acid uptake inhibitors, and acute and chronic neurodegenera tive disorders.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Vegetable Proteins It has been decided as a general scheme that the volumes first issued shall deal with the pure chemistry of physiological products and with certain general aspects of the subject. Subsequent monographs will be devoted to such questions as the chemistry of special tissues and particular aspects of metabolism. So the series, if continued, will proceed from physiological chemistry to what may be now more properly termed chemical physiology. This will depend upon the success which the first series achieves, and upon the divisions of the subject which may be of interest at the time.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Determination and Occurrence of Amino-Acids in the Blood: A Thesis Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Cornell University for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy The present study was planned to extend our knowledge of the quan tity of amino-acids in the blood of widely varying species, including human blood, under both normal and pathological conditions. Ii'n order to do this it was necessary at the outset to test existing methods for the determina tion of amino-acids in biological uids and to modify one of the procedures heretofore available so as to have a method capable of a satisfactory degree of accuracy. It is outside the scope of the present paper to enter into a discussion of the determination and identification of individual amino-acids. The methods with which we shall concern ourselves are for the estimation of total animo - acid nitrogen. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Amino Acids Peptides and Proteins written by G. T. Young and published by Royal Society of Chemistry. This book was released on 1969 with total page 324 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Specialist Periodical Reports provide systematic and detailed review coverage of progress in the major areas of chemical research. Written by experts in their specialist fields the series creates a unique service for the active research chemist, supplying regular critical in-depth accounts of progress in particular areas of chemistry. For over 80 years the Royal Society of Chemistry and its predecessor, the Chemical Society, have been publishing reports charting developments in chemistry, which originally took the form of Annual Reports. However, by 1967 the whole spectrum of chemistry could no longer be contained within one volume and the series Specialist Periodical Reports was born. The Annual Reports themselves still existed but were divided into two, and subsequently three, volumes covering Inorganic, Organic and Physical Chemistry. For more general coverage of the highlights in chemistry they remain a 'must'. Since that time the SPR series has altered according to the fluctuating degree of activity in various fields of chemistry. Some titles have remained unchanged, while others have altered their emphasis along with their titles; some have been combined under a new name whereas others have had to be discontinued. The current list of Specialist Periodical Reports can be seen on the inside flap of this volume.
