Biological roles of oligosaccharides: all of the theories are correct.
Many different theories have been advanced concerning the biological roles of the oligosaccharide units of individual classes of glycoconjugates. Analysis of the evidence indicates that while all of these theories are correct, exceptions to each can also be found. The biological roles of oligosaccharides appear to span the spectrum from those that are trivial, to those that are crucial for the ...
متن کاملPhotochemistry of aqueous pyruvic acid.
The study of organic chemistry in atmospheric aerosols and cloud formation is of interest in predictions of air quality and climate change. It is now known that aqueous phase chemistry is important in the formation of secondary organic aerosols. Here, the photoreactivity of pyruvic acid (PA; CH3COCOOH) is investigated in aqueous environments characteristic of atmospheric aerosols. PA is current...
متن کاملPyruvic Acid I. Collection of Blood for the Determination of Pyruvic and Lactic Acids*
The accurate determination of pyruvic and lactic acids is a matter of considerable theoretical and practical importance. These acids play a role in the metabolism of carbohydrates, and they are found in increased concentration in the blood in conditions of thiamine deficiency. Recently we suggested (1) the determination of the ratio of lactic to pyruvic acid in the blood as a measure of oxidati...
متن کاملPhotoinduced oligomerization of aqueous pyruvic acid.
The 320 nm-band photodecarboxylation of aqueous pyruvic acid (PA), a representative of the alpha-oxocarboxylic acids widely found in the atmospheric aerosol, yields 2,3-dimethyltartaric (A) and 2-(3-oxobutan-2-yloxy)-2-hydroxypropanoic (B) acids, rather than 3-hydroxy-2-oxobutanone as previously reported. A and B are identified by liquid chromatography with UV and ESI-MS detection, complemented...
متن کاملBiological Roles and Therapeutic Potential of Hydroxy-Carboxylic Acid Receptors
In the recent past, deorphanization studies have described intermediates of energy metabolism to activate G protein-coupled receptors and to thereby regulate metabolic functions. GPR81, GPR109A, and GPR109B, formerly known as the nicotinic acid receptor family, are encoded by clustered genes and share a high degree of sequence homology. Recently, hydroxy-carboxylic acids were identified as endo...
