Amino acids, 22(3), 217-230 (2002-06-27)
Amino acid metabolism is a fundamental process for plant growth and development. Although a considerable amount of information is available, little is known about the genetic control of enzymatic steps or regulation of several pathways. Much of the information about

Bone, 35(1), 108-113 (2004-06-23)
This review concentrates on the physical state of bone mineral at the nanosize range, where it exists as ultrathin, tiny, platelike particles. They have a distinct X-ray pattern, different from that of apatite crystals, but shared by all bone matter
M J Collins et al.
Philosophical transactions of the Royal Society of London. Series B, Biological sciences, 354(1379), 51-64 (1999-03-26)
The increase in proportion of the non-biological (D-) isomer of aspartic acid (Asp) relative to the L-isomer has been widely used in archaeology and geochemistry as a tool for dating. the method has proved controversial, particularly when used for bones.
E R Waite et al.
Forensic science international, 103(2), 113-124 (1999-09-11)
Accurate age determination of adult cadavers and human remains is a key requirement in forensic practice. The current morphological methods lack accuracy and precision, require specialist training and are costly. The use of aspartic acid racemization (AAR) in human dentine
Stefanie Ritz-Timme et al.
Ageing research reviews, 1(1), 43-59 (2002-06-01)
Aspartic acid racemization (AAR) represents one of the major types of non-enzymatic covalent modification that leads to an age-dependent accumulation of abnormal protein in numerous human tissues. In vivo racemization is an autonomic process during the "natural" ageing of proteins
