Complex formation of the biologically active amino acid L-mimosine [α-amino-β-(3-hydroxy-4-oxo-1,4-dihydropyridin-1-yl)propanoic acid (1)], mimosinic acid (2), mimosine methyl ether (9) and 3-hydroxy-1-methylpyridin-4(1H)-one (4) with Cu2+, Zn2+, Cd2+ and Pb2+ was studied. Stability constants were determined by potentiometric titration in 0.15M KNOB3 as inert electrolyte at 37�. In the monomeric complexes formed by the mimosine derivatives, metal binding by the hydroxypyridone moiety was favoured relative to the amino acid group. With mimosine, dimeric complexes were major species. Under physiological conditions, mimosine binds copper and zinc ions more strongly than do simpler amino acids.

The Relationship

We systematically investigated the reversibility, time lapse, and oxygenation-deoxygenation properties of 15 naturalα-amino acid–Co(II) complexes through UV-vis spectrophotometer, polarographic oxygen electrode, and DFT calculations, respectively, to explore the relationship between the coordinating structure and reversible oxygenation ofα-amino acid–Co(II) complexes. Results revealed that theα-amino acid structure plays a key role in the reversible oxygenation properties of these complexes. The specific configuration of theα-amino acid group affects theeg1electron of Co(II) transfer to theπ⁎orbit of O2; this phenomenon also favors the reversible formation and dissociation of Co–O2bond when O2coordinates with Co(II) complexes. Therefore, the co-coordination of amino and carboxyl groups is a determinant of Co complexes to absorb O2reversibly. The group adjacent to theα-amino acid unit evidently influences the dioxygen affinity and antioxidation ability of the complexes. The presence of amino (or imino) and hydroxy groups adjacent to theα-amino acid group increases the oxygenation-deoxygenation rate and the number of reversible cycles. Our findings demonstrate a new mechanism to develop reversible oxygenation complexes and to reveal the oxygenation of oxygen carriers.

Amino Acid Diet

Abstract Background Dietary protein deficiency and amino acid uimbalance cause hepatic fat accumulation. We previously demonstrated that only arginine deficiency as well as total amino acid deficiency in a diet caused significant hepatic triglyceride (TG) accumulation in young Wistar rats. In this study, we explored the mechanisms of this fatty liver formation using these two models. Methods A low-total-amino acid diet (equivalent to 5% protein) and a low-arginine diet (solely the arginine content alone is as low as the low-total-amino acid diet) to the rats for 2 weeks. Results There was substantially greater hepatic TG accumulation in the low-arginine group than in the low-total-amino acid group. The low-total-amino-acid diet potentiated insulin signals in the liver and enhanced de novo lipogenesis. By contrast, the low-arginine diet inhibited hepatic very-low-density lipoprotein secretion, without affecting hepatic insulin signaling and lipogenesis. Conclusions We conclude that, although the arginine intake of the low-arginine group was as low as that of the low-total-amino-acid group, these two diets developed a fatty liver via completely different mechanisms. The potentiation of insulin signaling and resultant increases in fatty acid synthesis seem to drive the effects of a low-protein diet, whereas lower VLDL secretion may be the main causes of low-arginine diet-induced TG accumulation in the liver.

It is well known that the amino acids in the blood are distributed between the plasma and inside the cells. This study was conducted to determine whether amino acids can be located adsorbed on blood cell membranes. The amino acid concentration in the deproteinized haemolysed blood was higher than that in the fraction of blood after removal of the blood cell membranes by centrifugation. These results showed that a pool of amino acids representing 21.1% of the whole blood cell amino acids was adsorbed on the blood cell membranes of adult Wistar rats. The non-polar amino acids showed high adsorption on the membrane, whereas out of the polar amino acid group, only the non-ionic amino acids did adsorb.
