Optically pure amino acids have been widely used as intermediates in the synthesis of antibiotics, antifungal agents, pesticides, and sweeteners. Of particular importance, d- p-hydroxyphenylglycine (D-HPG) can be produced from d, l-hydroxyphenly hydantoin (D,L-HPH) in a two-step reaction mediated by
Experimental evidence suggests that modulation of myocardial substrate metabolism can markedly affect the progression of chronic heart failure (HF). We tested whether the inhibition of carnitine palmitoyl transferase-I (CPT-I), the enzyme regulating mitochondrial fatty acid oxidation, slows left ventricular remodeling

By increasing circulating free fatty acids and the rate of fatty acid oxidation, obesity decreases glucose oxidation and myocardial tolerance to ischemia. Partial inhibition of fatty acid oxidation may improve myocardial tolerance to ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) in obesity. We assessed the

Photodissociation of iodo-tyrosine modified peptides yields localized radicals on the tyrosine side chain, which can be further dissociated by collisional activation. We have performed extensive experiments on model peptides, RGYALG, RGYG, and their derivatives, to elucidate the mechanisms underlying backbone

Nocardicin A is a monocyclic beta-lactam isolated from the actinomycete Nocardia uniformis, which shows moderate activity against a broad spectrum of gram-negative bacteria. Within the biosynthetic gene cluster of nocardicin A, nocR encodes a 583-amino-acid protein with high similarity to
