## Abstract The synthesis of the leucine‐specific and LIV‐binding proteins was examined in vitro in a coupled transcription/translation system using the hybrid plasmids pOX7 and pOX13 as templates. Plasmid pOX7 contains the __livK__ gene coding for the leucine‐specific binding protein, and pOX13 co
## Abstract Glutamate homeostasis during glutamatergic neurotransmission is predominantly maintained via functioning of the glutamate‐glutamine cycle. However, the glutamate‐glutamine cycle explains only the fate of the carbon atoms but not that of the accompanying transfer of nitrogen from neurons
