Effects of buffering agents on high-intensity exercise performance and capacity
… performance and capacity. Two such agents, β-alanine and sodium bicarbonate, increase intracellular and extracellular buffering capacity, which could contribute to an improved performance and capacity during exercise limited by increasing acidosis. Despite this, studies on the ergogenic …

Novel ferrocenyl benzoyl peptide esters as anti-cancer agents and ferrocenoyl self assembled monolayers as anion sensors
… to be N-{meta-(ferrocenyl)- benzoyl}-glycine-L-alanine ethyl ester with an IC50 value of 4.0 μM while N-{ortho-(ferrocenyl)-benzoyl}-glycine-L-alanine ethyl ester induced a block in the G2/M phase of the cell cycle. {N-ortho-(ferrocenyl)-benzoyl}2-L-cystine dimethyl ester displayed a linear …

Amphipathic Hybrid Cyclic-Linear Peptides as a Drug Delivery System
… fluorescently labeled with FITC using a short β-alanine linker, resulting in [R<sub>5</sub>W<sub>4</sub>]K-AH135(βA)-F' (<strong>3</strong>), to investigate its mechanistic uptake. Similarly, Doxorubicin (DOX) was conjugated to Peptide (2) through a β-alanine, glutarate linker, resulting in …

Amino acid interactions of spiropyran
… amino acids chosen for investigation were β-Alanine, L-Phenylalanine and 8-Aminocaprylic acid. Both single phase and two-phase switching experiments were undertaken to document the photochromic interconversion between spiropyran and merocyanine in the presence of these amino acids, compared …

Design of Reagents and Ligands for Direct Palladium-Catalyzed C(sp³)–H Functionalization of Aliphatic Carboxylic Acids
… distal C–H activation, in which a new β-alanine derived ligand enabled functionalization of previously inaccessible substrate scaffolds. Finally, Chapter 5 concludes with a description of a molecular stitching approach to access γ-alkylidene lactones, facilitated by a sulfonamide-derived …

Amino acid-derived imidazolium salts: platform molecules for N-Heterocyclic carbene metal complexes and organosilica materials
… procedures using ligands derived from glycine, alanine, β-alanine and phenylalanine. The complexes were characterized in solid state using X-Ray crystallography, which allowed for the steric and electronic comparison of these ligands to well-known NHC ligands within analogous metal complexes. …

Detection and characterisation of secondary relaxations in solids using thermally stimulated current spectroscopy
… weight organic materials (LOMs), namely α-alanine, β-alanine, a co-crystal system (salicylic acid and benzamide) and the drug paracetamol (form I). The aim of the research was to significantly improve the contemporary understanding of secondary relaxation phenomena in crystalline LOMs; an …

Amphiphilic Cyclic Cell-Penetrating Peptides Containing Tryptophan and Arginine as Anticancer Agents and Drug Delivery System
… through the free side chain amino group of β-alanine with Dox via a glutarate linker to afford [(WR)8WK]bA-Dox conjugate. The conjugate inhibited the cell viability of ovarian adenocarcinoma (SK-OV-3) by 59% and triple-negative breast cancer cells, MDA-MB-231 and MCF-7, by 71% and 77%, …

Development of CaO-based Sorbents for Post-Combustion Carbon Capture in the Calcium Looping Process
… CO2 capture performance. Among citric acid, β-alanine, and urea tested in this study, citric acid was determined as the optimum fuel for solution combustion synthesis. A stoichiometric ratio of fuel to oxidizers produced the optimum sorbents in case of citric acid, whereas for urea a high ratio …

The synthesis of bimane constrained peptides and their fluorescent and structural properties
… results in a 3₁₀ helical like structure. β-alanine containing analogues of these peptides were also synthesised and showed minimal structure.This work outlines the synthesis of macrocyclic peptides containing a peptide constraint, in the form of a fluorescent bimane, both in solution and …

Precision fermentation for enhanced production of food ingredients, fermented foods, and chemicals
… acid (3-HP) from xylose via the β-alanine pathway. 3-HP serves as a platform chemical with the capability to produce diverse value-added products including absorbents and bioplastics. In this study, we introduced a xylose oxidoreductase pathway (XYL1, xylose reductase, XYL2, xylitol …

Biogeochemistry of dissolved free amino acids in marine sediments
… amino acids, γ-aminobutyric acid and β-alanine, were major constituents of the total hydrolyzable amino acids in the Bermuda Rise sediments. Biological processes, specifically microbial, appear to be responsible for the major features of DFAA concentration and composition in the …
