Quantitative Recovery

After the reaction of reduced BSAt with BPA at pH 10�6 and subsequent hydrolysis of the protein with 6N HCl, only 40% of the lysine present in the unmodified protein can be accounted for on chromatographic analysis of the hydrolysate; a similar loss is observed of the SAPC into which the original cystine, which has totally disappeared, is presumably initially all converted. In place of these amino acids, a "neutral" ninhydrin-positive peak is observed which accounts approximately quantitatively for the missing lysine. The reaction at pH 8� 6 with IP A leads to a quantitative recovery of SAPC with no loss of lysine. In contrast, reaction for the same times at both pH values with BEA leads to quantitative recovery of all amino acids including SAEC. Although the reaction ofIP A with thiols at pH 8�6 is very slow compared with that of other alkylating agents, the relative absence of side reactions may be compared with the state of affairs when methyl iodide is used for an equivalent period in the same relative quantities, when there is extensive alteration of lysine, histidine, methionine, and S-methylcysteine.

Using classical methods of synthesis nine small peptides containing amino-1 cycloalkyl carboxylic acids have been synthesized. The cyclic acids have been placed either at the N-terminal or at the C-terminal positions or in between two natural amino acids, glycine and DL-phenylalanine.The cyclization of two dipeptides into a substituted diketopiperazine, and the subsequent hydrolysis of this compound have been studied.

Scopulariopsis brevicaulis protease hydrolyzed poly-L-lysine and poly-L-glutamic acid; optimum pH values for hydrolysis were 10.6 and 4.7 respectively. Final products of poly-L-lysine digestion by the protease were intermediate peptides from tetramer upwards. Pentalysine was not hydrolyzed by the enzyme. The protease had no action on poly-L-aspartic acid, poly-L-alanine, poly-L-glycine, poly-L-valine, or poly-L-leucine.

AbstractDeinking of recycled office (MOW) paper was carried out by using a flotation column and adding separately sodium hydroxide, and the enzyme Cellulase Thricodema Sp., as defibrillators.The de-inked cellulose fibers were characterized according to the standards of the paper industry, to compare the efficiency of the deinking of each chemical reagent used to hydrolyze the fibers and defibrillate them.The computational simulation of the molecular coupling between the enzyme and cellulose was performed, to establish the enzyme-cellulose molecular complex and then to identify the principal amino-acids of endo-β-1,4-D-glucanase in this molecular link, which are responsible for the hydrolysis of the cellulose.Experimental results show the feasibility to replace sodium hydroxide with the enzyme Cellulase Thricodema Sp., by obtaining deinked cellulose with similar optical and physical properties.The use of the enzyme instead of sodium hydroxide avoids the contamination of the residual water; in addition to that, the column is operated more easily, taking into consideration that the pH of the system goes from alkaline to neutral.

A peptidic hydrolysate has been obtained through hydrolysis of bovine hemoglobin using pepsin. The fractioning of the hydrolysate was performed on a column packed with CM-Sepharose Fast Flow. The hydrolysate and each fraction was filtered and then injected into a HPLC system equipped with a Vydak C4 reverse phase column (0.46 x 25 cm), suitable for the chromatographic separation of large peptides with 20 to 30 amino acids. The detection was done using mass spectrometry, and the retention time, size and distribution of the peptides were determined.

Bleach Activators

Abstract:: Activated peroxide systems are formed by adding so-called bleach activators to aqueous solution of hydrogen peroxide, developed in the seventies of the last century for use in domestic laundry for their high energy efficiency and introduced at the beginning of the 21st century to the textile industry as an approach toward overcoming the extensive energy consumption in bleaching. In activated peroxide systems, bleach activators undergo perhydrolysis to generate more kinetically active peracids that enable bleaching under milder conditions while hydrolysis of bleach activators and decomposition of peracids may occur as side reactions to weaken the bleaching efficiency. This mini-review aims to summarize these competitive reactions in activated peroxide systems and their influence on bleaching performance.

Lactiplantibacillus plantarum strain UNQLp 11 is a lactic acid bacterium with the potential to carry out malolactic fermentation (MLF) in red wines. Recently, the complete genome of UNQLp 11 was sequenced and this strain possesses four loci of the enzyme β-glucosidase. In order to demonstrate that these glucosidase enzymes could be functional under harsh wine conditions, we evaluated the hydrolysis of p-nitrophenyl-β-D-glucopyranoside (p-NPG) in synthetic wine with different ethanol contents (0%, 12%, and 14% v/v) and at different pH values (3.2, 3.5, and 3.8). Then, the hydrolysis of precursor n-octyl β-D-glucopyranoside was analyzed in sterile Pinot Noir wine (containing 14.5% v/v of ethanol, at different pH values) by headspace sorptive extraction gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (HSSE-GC/MS). The hydrolysis of p-NPG showed that β-glucosidase activity is very susceptible to low pH but induced in the presence of high ethanol content. Furthermore, UNQLp 11 was able to release the glycosilated precursor n-octyl, during MLF to a greater extent than a commercial enzyme. In conclusion, UNQLp 11 could improve the aromatic profile of the wine by the release of volatile precursors during MLF.

Hydrolysis of the methyl ester (±)-threo-methyl phenidate afforded the free acid in 40% yield,viz.(±)-threo-ritalinic acid, C13H17NO2. Hydrolysis and subsequent crystallization were accomplished at pH values between 5 and 7 to yield colourless prisms which were analysed by X-ray crystallography. Crystals of (±)-threo-ritalinic acid belong to theP21/nspace group and form intermolecular hydrogen bonds. An antiperiplanar disposition of the H atoms of the (HOOC—)CH—CHpygroup (py is pyridine) was found in both the solid (diffraction analysis) and solution state (NMR analysis). It was also determined that (±)-threo-ritalinic acid conforms to the minimization of negativegauche+–gauche−interactions.

1. A commercial amino acid solution supplemented with two synthetic dipeptides, l-alanyl-l-glutamine (Ala-Gln) and glycyl-l-tyrosine (Gly-Tyr), or alternatively with isonitrogenous amounts of free alanine and glycine has been continuously infused over 4 h in six apparently healthy volunteers. 2. The infusion of the solutions was not accompanied by any side effects and the volunteers reported no complaints. 3. Infusion of the alanine- and glycine-supplemented control solution resulted in an increase of the concentration of these amino acids, while no appreciable change in free glutamine concentration was observed and free tyrosine revealed a steady decrease throughout the infusion. 4. Infusion of the peptide-supplemented solution resulted in a prompt equimolar liberation of the constituent free amino acids (glutamine, alanine, tyrosine and glycine), approaching steady state after about 30 min infusion, while only trace but stable concentrations of the two dipeptides were measured throughout the infusion. No peptides were detectable in urine. The findings suggest a nearly quantitative extracellular hydrolysis of the infused dipeptides and indicate a subsequent utilization of the liberated free amino acids. 5. The estimated metabolic clearance rates and total body plasma clearances were very similar for the two dipeptides (Ala-Gln 35.9 ± 9.5 ml min−1 kg−1 and 2.9 ± 0.9 1/min, respectively; Gly-Tyr 33.7 ± 9.5 ml min−1 kg−1 and 2.7 ± 0.9 1/min, respectively); thus there is little difference in the metabolic handling of these dipeptides. 6. The study provides firm evidence that the synthetic dipeptides Ala-Gln and Gly-Tyr are quantitatively hydrolysed and that these peptides can be used as a safe and efficient source of free glutamine and tyrosine as part of a commercial solution.
