  2. Lactotripeptides - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lactotripeptides

    Several human trials aimed to evaluate the effect of lactotripeptides on blood pressure. Some trials show a blood pressure-lowering effect of lactotripeptides in people with mild to moderate hypertension, [1] [2] [18] however others see no effect from these peptides.

  3. Valine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Valine

    Valine ball and stick model spinning. Valine (symbol Val or V) [4] is an α-amino acid that is used in the biosynthesis of proteins. It contains an α-amino group (which is in the protonated −NH 3 + form under biological conditions), an α-carboxylic acid group (which is in the deprotonated −COO − form under biological conditions), and a side chain isopropyl group, making it a non-polar ...

  4. Peptide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peptide

    green marked amino end (L-valine) and blue marked carboxyl end (L-alanine) Peptides and proteins are often described by the number of amino acids in their chain, e.g. a protein with 158 amino acids may be described as a "158 amino-acid-long protein". Peptides of specific shorter lengths are named using IUPAC numerical multiplier prefixes:

  5. Composition of the human body - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Composition_of_the_human_body

    Parts-per-million cube of relative abundance by mass of elements in an average adult human body down to 1 ppm. About 99% of the mass of the human body is made up of six elements: oxygen, carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, calcium, and phosphorus. Only about 0.85% is composed of another five elements: potassium, sulfur, sodium, chlorine, and magnesium ...

  6. Lac-Phe - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lac-Phe

    [6] [7] [8] [1] [9] In mice, high levels of Lac-Phe in the blood cause a decrease of food intake [6] and in humans, its production has been shown to correlate with adipose tissue loss during an endurance exercise intervention. [10] In mammals it is created from -lactate and L-phenylalanine by the cytosol nonspecific dipeptidase (CNDP2) protein. [1]

  7. Tripeptide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tripeptide

    green marked amino end (L-Valine) and blue marked carboxyl end (L-Alanine) A tripeptide is a peptide derived from three amino acids joined by two or sometimes three peptide bonds. [1] As for proteins, the function of peptides is determined by the constituent amino acids and their sequence.

  8. Valine—tRNA ligase - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Valine—tRNA_ligase

    The 3 substrates of this enzyme are ATP, L-valine, and tRNA(Val), whereas its 3 products are AMP, diphosphate, and L-valyl-tRNA(Val). This enzyme belongs to the family of ligases, to be specific those forming carbon-oxygen bonds in aminoacyl-tRNA and related compounds. The systematic name of this enzyme class is L-valine:tRNAVal ligase (AMP ...

  9. Hypervalinemia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypervalinemia

    Hypervalinemia has an autosomal recessive pattern of inheritance.. Hypervalinemia is inherited in an autosomal recessive manner. [1] This means the defective gene responsible for the disorder is located on an autosome, and two copies of the defective gene (one inherited from each parent) are required in order to be born with the disorder.
