Hypotaurine is a sulfinic acid that is an intermediate in the biosynthesis of taurine. Like taurine, it also acts as an endogenous neurotransmitter via action on the glycine receptors. [1] It is an osmolyte with antioxidant properties. [2] Hypotaurine is derived from cysteine (and homocysteine). In mammals, the biosynthesis of hypotaurine from ...
In enzymology, a taurine dehydrogenase (EC 1.4.99.2) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction.. taurine + H 2 O + acceptor sulfoacetaldehyde + NH 3 + reduced acceptor. The 3 substrates of this enzyme are taurine, H 2 O, and acceptor, whereas its 3 products are sulfoacetaldehyde, NH 3, and reduced acceptor.
Taurine (/ ˈ t ɔː r iː n /), or 2-aminoethanesulfonic acid, is a non-proteinogenic naturally occurring amino sulfonic acid that is widely distributed in animal tissues. [1] It is a major constituent of bile and can be found in the large intestine, and accounts for up to 0.1% of total human body weight.
The Escherichia coli tauD gene is required for the utilization of taurine (2-aminoethanesulfonic acid) as a sulfur source and is expressed only under conditions of sulfate starvation. TauD is an alpha-ketoglutarate-dependent dioxygenase catalyzing the oxygenolytic release of sulfite from taurine. [ 1 ]
Regular languages are a category of languages (sometimes termed Chomsky Type 3) which can be matched by a state machine (more specifically, by a deterministic finite automaton or a nondeterministic finite automaton) constructed from a regular expression.
In the decomposition of taurine, it has been shown that molecular oxygen is activated by Iron II, which lies in the coordinating complex of taurine dioxygenase. [2] Here the enzyme with conjunction of an Iron II and 2-oxoglutarate maintain non-covalent bonds by electrostatic interactions, and coordinate a nucleophilic attack from dioxygen on 2-oxoglutarate carbon number 2.

curl is a command-line tool for getting or sending data including files using URL syntax. curl provides an interface to the libcurl library; it supports every protocol libcurl supports. [ 14 ] curl supports HTTPS and performs SSL certificate verification by default when a secure protocol is specified such as HTTPS.
