Thermodynamic properties of amino acids explore the ideas about the energetic contribution in biomolecular interfaces. In our work, we have estimated the solvation free energy of leucine and isoleucine peptides with the variation of chain length or residues of different monomer units (n=1, 2, 4, 8 & 16) using molecular dynamic simulation. We modeled our system using OPLS-AA force field and TIP3P water model at 310 K temperature. Solvation free energy of both leucine and isoleucine peptides increases with increase in chain length, which have been reported by using TI, TI-CUBIC and BAR methods. The increase in solvation free energy with increase in chain length of both peptides is also supported by the increase in hydrogen bond and solvent accessible surface area (SASA) with the number of residues.

Panicle elongation length (PEL), which determines panicle exsertion, is an important outcrossing-related trait. Mining genes controlling PEL in rice (Oryza sativa L.) has great practical significance in breeding cytoplasmic male sterility (CMS) lines with increased PEL and simplified, high-efficiency seed production.

Purpose: Major cardiovascular surgery imposes high physiologic stress, often causing severe organ dysfunction and poor outcomes. The underlying mechanisms remain unclear. This study investigated metabolic changes induced by major cardiovascular surgery and the potential role of identified metabolic signatures in postoperative acute kidney injury (AKI).

Background: Few studies have evaluated the impact of branched-chain amino acid (BCAA) intake on the risk of obesity in adults. The results are contradictory, and the causality has not been explored. This study assessed the association between BCAA intake and obesity incidence among Brazilian adults and investigated the potential moderating role of the plant-based index (PDI) in this relationship.

Introduction: The free exopolysaccharide (f-EPS) produced by is a natural texture modifier and has a variety of prebiotic activities. Our previous studies showed f-EPS production from 937 was increased 2-fold in the presence of 15 mM of glutamate, isoleucine, and histidine in the chemically defined medium.
Methods: In this study, we used transcriptomics and qPCR to further explore the specific mechanism of the enhanced effect of 3 amino acids on the f-EPS biosynthesis of 937.
