In order to determine the effects of large variations in plasma amino acid concentrations upon human erythrocyte amino acid content, the plasma concentration of blood samples was enhanced (x 3.8) by adding amino acids or decreased (x 0.49) by plasma dilution. Before and after incubation (30 s at 37

β¦ Synopsis
The effect of tryptophan on the biosynthesis of proline has been investigated. Cells of Daucus carota grown in B5 medium supplemented with 5Γ10(-4)M tryptophan acquired the ability to grow in the presence of inhibitory concentrations of azetidine-2-carboxylic acid, an analog of proline. When trp was added to carrot cell cultures at sub-growth inhibiting concentrations, overproduction of intracellular free proline was observed. An increase was also observed for lys, his, ala, leu and phe. Likewise, the addition of asparagine, glutamic acid and phenylalanine to the medium stimulated the intracellular increase of free proline and other amino acids.
