Biochem/physiol Actions
β-Glutamic acid (β-Glu) is used as an osmolyte in many archaea. β-Glutamic acid may be used as a substrate to study the specificity and kinetics of archaeal and bacterial glutamine synthetase (GS) enzymes. β-Glutamic acid is used to study primitive mechanisms of polypeptide formation.

The unusual compound beta-aminoglutaric acid (beta-glutamate) has been identified by 13C nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy in soluble extracts of marine methanogenic bacteria. We examined several methanogen species representing nine genera and found that beta-glutamate occurred in methanococci and two methanogenium

Separate receptors are recognized for the excitation of mammalian neurones by (a) L-glutamic and quisqualic acids and (b) N-methyl-D-aspartic (NMDA), and other amino acids which have conformationally restricted molecules. Several other compounds, both agonists and antagonists, have been examined, and

The conversion of beta-glutamate to beta-glutamine by archaeal and bacterial glutamine synthetase (GS) enzymes has been examined. The GS from Methanohalophilus portucalensis (which was partially purified) is capable of catalyzing the amidation of this substrate with a rate sevenfold less

We have studied the accumulation of long oligomers of beta-amino acids on the surface of minerals using the 'polymerization on the rocks' protocol. We find that long oligopeptides of beta-glutamic acid which cannot be formed in homogeneous aqueous solution are
