The word "amino" in example sentences

Now it seems that certain amino acids are more probable (and hence more common). ❋ M_francis (2009)

Meteorites that fall to Earth contain amino acids and organic carbon molecules such as formaldehyde. ❋ Unknown (2009)

You are suggesting that small RNA would assume the function performed by protein amino acyl synthetases and if we presume all the foregoing what leads you to think this mixture would evolve to produce a cell? ❋ Unknown (2010)

There is variation in amino acid sequence among different eukaryotic organisms. ❋ Unknown (2009)

There's something to suit every chemical taste: you could chose the fairly simple dopamine and caffeine necklaces and earrings, the elegant "red wine" resveratrol and garnet necklace, or have your name or other message spelled out in amino acids. ❋ Peggy (2008)

What organizational structure would contain amino acid polymers prior to the existence of a code which would make possible orderly synthesis and inheritance? ❋ Unknown (2008)

Of course, if it all began, as they say, by coopting certain amino acids to act as catalytic groups, or fortuitously latching on to small peptides to function as cross-linkers, it was perhaps the Most Lucky Event of all that such humble material contained within it the latent potential to turn the blind watchmaker into a rather impressive designer-mimic. ❋ Unknown (2008)

In short, the authors found that the fat tissue from the obese co-twins showed a significant up-regulation of inflammatory pathways, significantly reduced mitochondrial DNA copy number, and disturbed mitochondrial energy metabolism — statistically most significantly, the decreased catabolism of branched-chain amino acids (BCAA). ❋ Unknown (2008)

This suggests that a substantial fraction of the genetic code has a stereochemical basis, the triplets having escaped from their original function in amino acid-binding sites to become modern codons and anticodons. ❋ Unknown (2008)

If Behe is looking for an edge he might stick close to models that link changes in amino acid sequence to protein folding and consequent changes in protein structure. ❋ Unknown (2008)

The hypothesis leads to specific empirical predictions that can be tested, e.g. there is signficant evidence of "triplets having escaped from their original function in amino acid-binding sites to become modern codons and anticodons." ❋ Unknown (2007)

In the prebiotic world, the only potentially viable source for correct protein amino acid sequences would be to derive that faithfully from actual realized and beneficial proteins. ❋ Unknown (2007)

There is very signficant evidence of "triplets having escaped from their original function in amino acid-binding sites to become modern codons and anticodons," and experimental evidence that "at least some primordial coding assignments appear to have exploited triplets from amino acid binding sites as codons," and that "the earlier appearance of tRNA versus their metabolically related enzymes" predicted by the RNA world theory has been confirmed. ❋ Unknown (2007)

I'll generously guess the likelihood of encoding such a message in amino acid sequence as roughly 30%. ❋ Unknown (2007)

Thus, when papers vaguely refer to "triplets having escaped from their original function in amino acid-binding sites", the use of "escape" skillfully hides the real difficulty — as though it were simply a matter of "leaving a restriction or limitation" rather than one of constructing the very first system of coordinated mechanisms for symbol translation. ❋ Unknown (2007)

The bacterium has apparently also lost the ability to make certain amino acids (the building blocks of proteins): instead, it breaks down milk proteins into amino acids and absorbs the ones it needs. ❋ Edward Willett (2006)
