Depression is the most common mental disorder and a leading cause of disability
worldwide. Despite abundant research, the precise mechanisms underlying the …

d-amino acids, the enantiomeric counterparts of l-amino acids, were long considered to be
non-functional or not even present in living organisms. Nowadays, d-amino acids are …

The chirality of bioactive molecules is closely related to their functions. D-amino acids
commonly distributed in the bacterial cell walls trigger a robust anti-infective immune …

In nature, amino acids are found in two forms, L and D enantiomers, except for glycine which
does not have a chiral center. The change of one form to the other will lead to a change in …

Investigations on the occurrence and biochemical roles of free D‐amino acids and D‐amino
acid‐containing peptides and proteins in living systems have increased in frequency and …

Metabolites derived from the intestinal microbiota play an important role in maintaining
skeletal muscle growth, function, and metabolism. Here, we found that d-malate (DMA) is …

This work described a sensitive and economical HPLC-UV method with FDAA derivatization
to simultaneously detect 36 D/l-amino acids, which provides higher sensitivity and lower cost …

Chirality is a central feature in the evolution of biological systems, but the reason for
biology's strong preference for specific chiralities of amino acids, sugars, and other …

Schizophrenia has been conceptualized as a neurodevelopmental disorder with synaptic
alterations and aberrant cortical–subcortical connections. Antipsychotics are the mainstay of …

The dog has assumed a prominent role in human society. Associated with that status, diet
choices for companion dogs have begun to reflect the personal preferences of the owners …
