A new enzyme, rhamnogalacturonan (RG) alpha-D-galactopyranosyluronohydrolase (RG-galacturonohydrolase), able to release a galacturonic acid residue from the nonreducing end of RG chains but not from homogalacturonan, was purified from an Aspergillus aculea ...
The kinetics of glucose liberation from lactose by b-galactosidase from A. niger was studied in a wide range of the main variables. The anal. shows that the kinetic models proposed so far are not adequate. The main finding is that the reaction rate is not ...
The exclusive presence of beta -D-ribofuranose in nucleic acids is still a conundrum in prebiotic chemistry, given that pyranose species are substantially more stable at equilibrium. However, a precise characterisation of the relative furanose/pyranose fra ...
The reactivity of (E)- and (Z)-1-fluorobuta-1,3-diene ((E)- and (Z)-11), 2-fluorobutadiene (12). (E)and (Z)-1-(fluoromethylidene)-2-methylidenecyclohexane ((E)- and (Z)-13) toward SO2 has been explored and compared with that of (Z)- and (E)-1-(fluoromethyl ...
The Oshima-Nozaki (Et2AlI) condensation of isolevoglucosenone (4) with 2,6-anhydro-3,4,5,7-tetra-O-benzyl-D-glycero-D-gulo-heptose (5) gave an enone 6 that was converted with high stereoselectivity to 3-C-[(IR)-2,6-anhydro-D-glycero-D-gulo-heptitol-1-C-yl] ...
The preparation of O-hexofuranosides was accomplished from unprotected 1-thioimidoyl furanosides as donors. The present methodology was first used for the synthesis of octyl galactofuranoside and further extended to D-galactofuranose-containing disaccharid ...
The stereochemical course of hydrolysis catalysed by four Aspergillus aculeatus enzymes acting on alpha-L-rhamnosyl and alpha-D-galacturonosyl linkages in the hairy regions of pectins has been determined using H-1-NMR. Exogalacturonase acts with inversion ...
: Despite the essential role that glycans play in many biological processes, their isomeric com-plexity makes their structural determination partic-ularly challenging. Tandem mass spectrometry has played a central role in glycan analysis, and recent work h ...
