Dynamics of free amino acid reserves in newborn 3, 6, 12 and 24-month rats was studied in ontogenesis. At all stages of postnatal life they get distributed differently in the liver and blood serum. Both individual and common peculiarities of amino acidic reserve distribution are marked.

Protein immobilization technology is important in medical and industrial applications. We previously reported all-in-one in vitro selection, wherein a collagen-binding vascular endothelial growth factor (CB-VEGF) was identified from a fusion library of random and VEGF sequences. However, its interaction chemistry is mainly limited to the interaction established by the 20 canonical amino acids.

Taurine, although not a coding amino acid, is the most common free amino acid in the body. Taurine has multiple and complex functions in protecting mitochondria against oxidative-nitrosative stress. In this comprehensive review paper, we introduce a novel potential role for taurine in protecting from deuterium (heavy hydrogen) toxicity.

Photopolymerization of bovine serum albumin was carried out using reactive oxygen species (ROS) generated by the irradiation of citrate-stabilized gold nanoparticles by a pulsed Nd:YAG laser. The ROS in this case, singlet oxygen (O), targets aromatic amino acids within the protein to induce photopolymerization or crosslinking. Other ROS, like the hydroxyl radical, can also form in solution and under high-energy irradiation.

Protein fibrillation has great potential for enhancing the emulsification, foaming, and gelling properties of proteins. However, its effects on protein film-forming properties are less well understood. In this study, soy protein isolate (SPI) was subjected to fibrillation at pH 2.
