Pituitary Growth Hormone

The amino acid content in human hypophyseal growth hormone has been determined by chromatography on resin columns. On the basis of 29,000 for the molecular weight, the empirical formula of the hormone was obtained: lys13his5arg14asp27 thr14ser23glu34pro12gly13ala12-(1/2 cys)6val12met4-ileu10leu31tyr10phe15try1(NH3)32.

Abstract Two Valencia peanut (Arachis hypogaea L.) cultivars, New Mexico Valencia A and New Mexico Valencia C, were grown at Arch and Los Lunas, N. M. All peanuts were grown under either sprinkler or furrow irrigation. Samples were obtained following harvest, hydrolyzed and analyzed in Raleigh, N. C. for amino acid content. With samples from Arch, no variety by planting date effects were noted for amino acid composition. With samples from Los Lunas, however, significant variety by planting date effects were noted for glutamic acid, glycine, methionine, isoleucine, and leucine. Planting date effects were found only for glycine at the Los Lunas location and phenylalanine at both locations. Significant variety differences were found for methionine, tyrosine, phenylalanine, and lysine at the Arch location and for glycine, methionine, phenylalanine, and lysine at the Los Lunas location. A significant year effect, although small, was noted for about half of the amino acids (aspartic acid, serine, glutamic acid, proline, glycine, tyrosine, phenylalanine, arginine, and the sum of all amino acids) studied at the Arch location. Data at Los Lunas were observed only during the second year. The amino acid content agrees closely with that previously reported for other types of peanuts except for a 100% higher level of cystine found in this study.

Abstract Background: Selenium (Se34) is an essential micronutrient for humans and animals and has growth promoting and antioxidative effects at low concentrations. Methods: Effects of various sodium selenite (Na2SeO3) doses on grain amino acid content of barley cultivars (Bülbül 89 and Çetin 2000) was investigated using ion exchange liquid chromatography. Results: Majority of the amino acids could be altered with Selenium (Se) fertilization. Grain Se content of Bülbül 89 (0.175 mg kg−1) and Çetin 2000 (0.171 mg kg−1) were similar and both displayed an increase in proteinogenic, essential, and sulfur amino acids. The response of cultivars was more pronounced for Se accumulation and amino acid content at mid dose (12.5 mg ha−1). The quantities of proteinogenic, essential and sulfur amino acids increased considerably at that dose. Se induced increase in nitrogen content might cause an increase in some of the proteins of grain and consequently can alter amino acid composition. An obvious increase in the limiting amino acids (lysine and threonine) were prominent in response to Se fertilization. Conclusion: Se treatment influence amino acid composition of barley grains; especially improve the quantity of limiting amino acids and consequently nutritional value of the grain.

Human Antibodies

Antilevan, antidextran, antiteichoic acid, anti-"A" and normal γG, all isolated from a single human, as well as pooled γG and γM, were analyzed for amino acid content. Differences ranging from 7 to 32 residues were found among these antibodies in glycine, valine, leucine, tyrosine, arginine, lysine, and threonine content. These conspicuous differences in amino acid composition were not correlated with the Gm type of these antibodies. Hydroxylysine was found in two of the four antibodies, antidextran and antiteichoic acid, and in γM- immunoglobulin. No hydroxylysine was found in γG- globulins. These findings probably account for discrepancies in the literature concerning the occurrence of this residue in antibody protein.

Objective. To study the amino acid composition in the tops of alfalfa under different water supply (60 % MVC (maximum water capacity) and 30 % MVC) depending on the inoculum strain (Sinorhizobium meliloti 425a, T17, AC08). Methods. Microbiological (bacterial cultivation), physiological (vegetation experiment), biochemical (determination of amino acid content in the tops of plants). Results. It was established that the qualitative amino acid composition in the tops of ALFALFA was identical in all variants. However, quantitative content of the studied samples differed depending on the inoculum strain and water supply. It was found that aspartic and glutamic acids, leucine and lysine are dominant in the tops of alfalfa under different water supply. In the absence of moisture, an increase in the content of individual amino acids was reported at the background of Sinorhizobium meliloti AC08 and T17, while inoculation with Sinorhizobium meliloti 425a resulted in a decrease in the content of all amino acids except tyrosine. In plants exposed to water stress, a tendency towards decrease in the content of glutamic acid at the background of bacterization with Sinorhizobium meliloti 425a and increase — under inoculation with Sinorhizobium meliloti T17 and AC08 was reported, which may support the use of the latter to increase the ability of symbiotic systems to recover during a post-stress period. Conclusion. Pre-sowing inoculation of alfalfa of the variety Laska with new active strains of Sinorhizobium meliloti AC08 and T17 helps to increase the content of amino acids, in particular essential, in the tops of plants, both under optimal conditions of moisture and insufficient water supply. The prospects of using new strains of rhizobia in the cultivation of alfalfa for green mass under the conditions of optimal water supply and drought has been verified.

The contribution of cotyledons, embryo and testa to the whole seed, was analyzed in the bean cultivar, Wiejska. The total nitrogen content and amino acid composition of morphological parts of the seed were determined. The average amino acid composition of globulins and albumins and the content of free amino acids in seeds of six Polish cultivars were estimated as well. It was found that the embryo contained the highest quantity of total nitrogen and the lowest of protein nitrogen. The exogenous amino acid content in the embryo was higher than in cotyledons and testa. Both albumins and globulins were shown to contain 42% exogenous amino acids. The content of methionine - the first limiting amino acid of bean proteins - did not exceed 0.30% of the total amino acid content in albumins and globulins. Free glutamic and aspartic acids made up more than 60% of the total free amino acids.

AbstractIncreased amino acid content in high-oil maize (Zea mays L.) grain may add further value to its use in livestock rations, especially if this enhanced amino acid content is consistent across varying growing conditions. Most high-oil maize (HOM) grown in the USA utilizes the TopCross system which involves planting a blend (TC Blend) of two types of maize. Field experiments and on-farm studies were conducted in 1997 and 1998 to compare the amino acid profile of grain from HOM TC Blends with that of their normal-oil maize (NOM) counterparts across a range of production environments in Ohio. In 1997, the composition of four amino acids (lysine, methionine, glycine and arginine) was significantly higher in HOM compared to NOM grain. In 1998, nine amino acids (lysine, methionine, glycine, arginine, asparagine, threonine, serine, cysteine and tryptophan) were greater in HOM than in NOM grain. Lysine and methionine content in HOM grain averaged 12 and 13% higher than in NOM grain in both years. The number of amino acids significantly affected by the grain parent was greater than that for maize type each year. A significant maize type × grain parent interaction for a limited number of amino acids suggest that TC Blend grain parents may affect the consistency of amino acid composition in HOM grain. Results of this study demonstrate that the levels of several amino acids, including economically important lysine and methionine, were consistently greater in HOM than in NOM grain across a range of production environments. Modelling with livestock ration balancing software showed that the additional amino acids and oil in HOM added 12–20% to its value as livestock feed.
