Article Abstract
Analysis of underivatized amino acids is challenging regarding the separation as well as the detection of these small polar analytes. Hydrophilic interaction LC using a 2.1x150 mm ZIC (ZIC, zwitterionic)-hydrophilic interaction LC from SeQuant as stationary phase with 1% v/v formic acid in water and ACN as eluents was combined with MS/MS in multiple reaction monitoring mode for the separation and the detection of 16 underivatized amino acids. Regression coefficients of eight or seven point calibrations varied from 0.9454 to 0.9993. Absolute LODs and LOQ (on column) were in the fmol range (0.1-12 and 0.4-41 fmol, respectively). A fast screening method of 19 min total runtime has been developed offering applicability to samples from rhizosphere studies--characterized by low analyte concentrations and complex matrices. A successful application to the analysis of tyrosine in samples from soil adsorption experiments is presented as well as an evaluated enrichment procedure for amino acids derived from plant culture in nutrient solution.

The main objective of this prospective, multicenter study (REVEAL-CP) was to test children with cerebral palsy-like signs and symptoms for raised 3--methyldopa (3-OMD) blood levels, a biomarker for aromatic L-amino acid decarboxylase deficiency (AADCd). A secondary objective was to characterize the molecular basis for the defective aromatic L-amino acid decarboxylase (AADC) gene product. Patients were identified in pediatric secondary and tertiary care hospitals through database searches and personal communication.

Throughout history, we have looked to nature to discover and copy pharmaceutical solutions to prevent and heal diseases. Due to the advances in metabolic engineering and the production of pharmaceutical proteins in different host cells, we have moved from mimicking nature to the delicate engineering of cells and proteins. We can now produce novel drug molecules, which are fusions of small chemical drugs and proteins.

Distinct tau amyloid assemblies underlie diverse tauopathies but defy rapid classification. Cell and animal experiments indicate tau functions as a prion, as different strains propagated in cells cause unique, transmissible neuropathology after inoculation. Strain amplification requires compatibility of the monomer and amyloid template.

Birth is one of the most important life events for animals. However, its significance in the developmental process is not fully understood. Here, we found that birth-induced alteration of glutamine metabolism in radial glia (RG), the embryonic neural stem cells (NSCs), is required for the acquisition of quiescence and long-term maintenance of postnatal NSCs.

The aggregation of proteins, peptides and amino acids has been a keen subject of interest owing to their implications in metabolic disorders. In this work, we investigated the self-aggregation of the unmodified aromatic amino acid l-tryptophan (Trp) into unusual spherical microstructures. Using fluorescence spectroscopy and field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), we detail the time-dependent transformation of monomeric tryptophan into spherical aggregates with distinct fluorescence characteristics (λ = 345 nm, λ = 430 nm) compared to the monomer.
