D-Aspartic Acid

Estimation of Chronological Age from the Racemization Rate of l- and d-Aspartic Acid: How to Completely Separate Enantiomers from Dentin

of technique. In general, living organs are composed of l -form amino acids. Conversion from l -form to d -form amino acids is a first-order chemical reaction. Thus, the quantity of d -form amino acids in an organ is proportional to the passed time (age

D环 D－loop

指DNA双链的局部，由具有互补性单链 DNA与之结合所产生的环状结构。当 DNA复制开始，在原来的双链中仅一方被新合成的短 DNA单链被置换的情况下可以见到（为 Displacement loop之简称）。可通过人工使 DNA单链结合来制成此结构。由 RNA单链所产生的类似结构称为 R环。

fields because d -amino acids are common constituents of bacterial cell walls, are present in foods and because free d -serine and d -aspartic acid were identified in brain and peripheral tissues of mammals. In this chapter, we report on the most used
