D-Arabinose is found rarely but does occur in certain plants and in the poly- saccharide of tubercle bacilli. The DL material has the trivial name 'pectinose', presumably because it can be obtained from the degradation of the polysacchar- ides in pectin substances.BY S. H. KIM...
Water thermoporosimetry is based on the Gibbs–Thomson effect where water crystals located in porous structure require more energy to melt due to the pore surface energy. When approximated to perfect cylinders, the diameter of the pores can be calculated from their melting point on the basis of ...
We used single-particle cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) to elucidate the structure of theMhOR5 tetramer. We obtained a density map at 3.3 Å resolution (Fig.1d, Extended Data Figs.3,4, Extended Data Table1), which allowed us to unambiguously build a model for the majority of the pro...
Additional data for June is shown to visualize the end of the bloom but does not include TCC and Dinophyceae biovolume information. The core sampling period from March 1 until May 31 is indicated by a gray area on the abscissa. Additional data including abundances of non-photosynthetic plank...
Ulva spp. Ulvan Extraction Composition Sulfation Structure 1. Introduction Seaweed farming is a fast-growing sector of biomass production with a potential of high areal productivities. Such farming has been done for centuries in Asia. To this point, it has been largely undeveloped in Sweden even ...
Furthermore, given the demonstrated antioxidant, antimicrobial, anticoagulant, and antidiabetic effects, we can affirm the richness of P. lentiscus in bioactive molecules and its use in traditional medicine as a source of preservative agent. Keywords: Pistacia lentiscus; germacrene D; spathulenol; 3...
In haemagglutination inhibition tests, the strongest inhibitor was p-nitrophenyl-α-l-fucose, followed by l-fucose > l-galactose > d-arabinose > d-fructose and d-mannose, while d-galactose is not active (Fig. 1 ). The ability of various complex oligosaccharides to competitively inhibit the ...
The blood–brain barrier (BBB) is a sophisticated structure whose full functionality is required for maintaining the executive functions of the central nervous system (CNS). Tight control of transport across the barrier means that most drugs, particularly large size, which includes powerful biologicals...
We have previously shown that multiple iron uptake systems enable EcN to colonize the inflamed gut and to compete with STm33. As zinc is also limited in the inflamed gut, we hypothesized that EcN must also have robust mechanisms for acquiring this metal. We thus compared the growth of EcN ...
Nonribosomal peptide synthetases containing starter condensation domains direct the biosynthesis of nonribosomal lipopeptides, which generally exhibit wide bioactivities. The acyl chain has strong impacts on bioactivity and toxicity, but the lack of an i
