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

Assays of d-Amino Acid Oxidases

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

Biosensors for d-Amino Acid Detection

are needed: biosensors can often satisfy these requirements. The use of an enzymatic, stereospecific reaction could confer selectivity to a biosensor for detecting and quantifying d -amino acids in foodstuffs. The flavoenzyme d -amino acid oxidase
