Objective To study the clinical significance of urine Glycyl proline dipeptidyl aminopeptidase (GPDA) for diagnosis of earlyrenal injury in liver cirrhosis.
He showed that the aldol reaction can be catalysed by a single amino acid, proline. And, crucially, this retains the enantiomeric purity of the enzyme-mediated reaction.
To start, collagen, comprised mainly of the amino acids glycine and proline, is one of the most abundant protein in our bodies, allocating roughly 25% of our total protein mass.
