Words similar to aspartyl
Example sentences for: aspartyl
How can you use “aspartyl” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:
α D= D-aspartyl peptide; α L= L-aspartyl peptide; β D= D-isoaspartyl peptide; β L= L-isoaspartyl peptide; Cr = creatinine; CTX = crosslinked C-telopeptide of type I collagen; ELISA = enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, HC+ = hypercalcemic with bone metastases; NC+ = normocalcemic with bone metastases; NC- = normocalcemic without radiological signs of bone metastases; SD = standard deviation.
CTX fragments derived from newly synthesised collagen are of the native peptide form ( L-aspartyl peptide [α L]), where the aspartic acid residue (D 1211) is on the L-enantiomeric form and is linked to the glycine residue (G 1212) through a peptide bond.
Barwin-like endoglucanases are present only in plants and fungi, whereas aspartyl proteases are found in eukaryotes, retroviruses and a minority of bacteria.
Collagen and CTX fragments will rearrange with age to three age-modified forms: the isomerised form ( L-isoaspartyl peptide [β L]), where the bond between the aspartic acid and glycine residue goes through the β-carboxyl group of the aspartyl residue; the racemised form ( D-aspartyl peptide [α D]), where the aspartic acid (D 1211) is on a D-enantiomeric form; and the isomerised and racemised form ( D-isoaspartyl peptide [β D]) [ 9 ] . The relative accumulation of the three age-modified forms is dependent on the balance between anabolic and catabolic processes in bone, and pathologic situations affecting these processes may thus also affect the relative amounts of the four CTX forms [ 9 10 11 ] .
These superfamilies are typified by the formate dehydrogenase C-terminal (FDHC) domain, Barwin endoglucanase, aspartyl protease, and the DPBB domains from the β and β' subunits of DDRP.
