Biological Effects Of Tryptophan And Nicotine On Microorganisms
Author(s): Elena Yaman*
L-tryptophan is the only protein amino acid (AA) containing an indole ring; through biotransformation in living
things, it either aids in maintaining this chemical group in cells and tissues or degrades it by releasing a range
of bioactive chemicals in both cases. Trp's small derivatives have a pleiotropic effect on homeostasis systems,
according to studies on its biology. The pathways of Trp indole derivatives in humans are involved in protein
turnover as well as the synthesis of the neurotransmitter and hormone serotonin (5-HT), the pineal gland hormone
melatonin (MLT), and the trace amine tryptamine. Instead, the breakdown of the Trp indole ring is what defines
the "kynurenine shunt," which produces cell-response adapters such L-kynurenine, kynurenic, and quinolinic
acids, or the coenzyme nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+). Bioremediation is one.. View More»
