Example sentences for: kynurenine

How can you use “kynurenine” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:

  • To validate retention times and for the construction of a concentration curve a standard mixture of kynurenine and tryptophan was analyzed for each assay.

  • Although this might at first seem an unfavorable outcome for the C. psittaci parasitism, a finite but minimal supply of kynurenine might satisfy the highly limited metabolic demands of the persistent state.

  • Kynureninase from C. psittaci is a key linker between the anthranilate-utilizing TrpB enzyme that initiates tryptophan biosynthesis in the parasite and the host kynurenine foramidase that generates kynurenine.

  • In this context, it is important to note that 3 other mutant loci have been reported in the SHR rat; missense mutations in the KAT-1 (kynurenine aminotransferase-1), Srebf-1 (sterol regulatory element binding factor-1) and CD36 (fatty acid translocase) are all present as homozygous changes [ 46 47 48 ] . The generation of congenic lines may assist with addressing many of these issues.

  • Thus, although C. psittaci apparently cannot utilize chorismate (for which it has an intact biosynthetic pathway) as a precursor of L-tryptophan, it has the potential to synthesize its own supply of L-tryptophan from host-generated kynurenine, ATP and L-serine.
