On a Newly-Discovered Long-Eyed Trilobite from Dudley

A newly discovered cholesteryl galactoside from Borrelia burgdorferi.

Two major glycolipids, which comprise approximately 36% of the total lipid mass from Borrelia burgdorferi, the etiological agent of Lyme disease, were investigated. We determined the fatty acid type, sugar identity, anomeric configuration, and substituent type and position. The structures were identified as cholesteryl 6-O-acyl-beta-d-galactopyranoside (B. burgdorferi glycolipid 1, BbGL-I), and...

A newly discovered human alpha-globin gene.

A previously undefined transcript with significant homology to the pseudo-alpha2 region of the alpha-globin locus on human chromosome 16 was detected as part of an effort to better define the transcriptional profiles of human reticulocytes. Cloning and sequencing of that transcript (GenBank AY698022; named mu-globin) revealed an insert with a 423-nucleotide open reading frame. BLASTP and Clusta...
