Stable isotope composition of multiple tissues and individual amino acids reveals dietary variation among life stages in green turtles (Chelonia mydas) at Ningaloo Reef
Diet is fundamental to an individual’s biology because energy acquired from food constrains growth and reproduction, which subsequently influences...

Patatin-like phospholipase CapV in Escherichia coli - morphological and physiological effects of one amino acid substitution
In rod-shaped bacteria, morphological plasticity occurs in response to stress, which blocks cell division to promote filamentation. We demonstrate...

The contribution of Ca and Mg to the accumulation of amino acids in maize: from the response of physiological and biochemical processes
BackgroundThe quality of maize kernels is significantly enhanced by amino acids, which are the fundamental building blocks of proteins. Meanwhile,...
-
Site-Specific Amino Acid Distributions Follow a Universal Shape
In many applications of evolutionary inference, a model of protein evolution needs to be fitted to the amino acid variation at individual sites in a...
-
Tissue-specific carbon isotope patterns of amino acids in southern sea otters
The measurement of stable isotope values of individual compounds, such as amino acids (AAs), has become a powerful tool in animal ecology and...

Linking prokaryotic genome size variation to metabolic potential and environment
While theories and models have appeared to explain genome size as a result of evolutionary processes, little work has shown that genome sizes carry...

Human metabolome variation along the upper intestinal tract
Most processing of the human diet occurs in the small intestine. Metabolites in the small intestine originate from host secretions, plus the ingested...
