Modern methods of molecular biology, biotechnology, polymer chemistry and materials science are enabling the development of innovative functional materials with outstanding properties and functions in interdisciplinary research projects. For this purpose, biomolecules such as proteins, peptides or carbohydrates ...
Aphospholipidis composed of two fatty acids, a glycerol unit, a phosphate group, and a polar molecule. The phosphate group and polar head region of the molecule are hydrophillic (attracted to water), while the fatty acid tail is hydrophobic (repelled by water). When placed in water, phosp...

Organic Compounds The four major organic compounds found in living things are carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, and nucleic acids. Organic Compounds A. Carbohydrates include sugars and their polymers. Nearly all organisms use glucose as one of their basic energy sources. Organic Compounds: Carbohydrates ...
Metabolomics has proven to be a potential tool in studying the pathophysiology of PCOS. The main abnormalities are associated mainly with the metabolism of lipids, fatty acids, sphingolipids and glycerophospholipids, steroids as well as carbohydrates and amino acids [15]. Fan et al. observed the ...
Polysaccharides are complex carbohydrates which consist of multiple monosaccharides with other structures. They are also called as glycans as the monosaccharide units are bonded with glycosidic linkages. Polysaccharides are large and branched molecules which are often insoluble in water, amorphous in nature...
Amylase is important for digesting carbohydrates. It breaks down starches into sugars. Amylase is secreted by both the salivary glands and the pancreas. The measurement of amylase levels in the blood is sometimes used as an aid in diagnosing various pancreas or other digestive tract diseases. ...
The heart is dynamically able to derive energy from numerous metabolic sources (e.g., fatty acids, carbohydrates, BCAA, and ketone bodies). These substrates compete for the OXPHOS at the mitochondria by providing acetyl-CoA [218]. Despite availability of all the substrates, ATP production is co...
Every eukaryotic cell is covered with a thick layer of complex carbohydrates with essential roles in their social life. In Deuterostoma, sialic acids present at the outermost positions of glycans of glycoconjugates are known to be key players in cellular interactions including host-pathogen interaction...
(CRDs) that contain approximately 130 amino acids responsible for binding carbohydrates. Galectin is distributed in the nucleus, cytoplasm and cell membrane and can be secreted into the extracellular medium by cells through nonclassical secretory pathways. Galectins play various roles in innate and ...
