Defining the carbohydrate specificities of Erythrina corallodendron lectin (ECorL) as polyvalent Galbeta1-4GlcNAc (II) > monomeric II > monomeric Gal and GalNAc.
BACKGROUND Erythrina corallodendron lectin (ECorL) is one of the potent applied lectins. In previous studies, the carbohydrate specificities of this lectin were limited to monosaccharides, simple oligosaccharides and several clusters. However, the polyvalent factor has not been investigated. METHODS The binding properties at the combining sites of ECorL were characterized by sensitive enzyme-...
متن کاملDextransucrase-catalyzed elongation of polysaccharide brushes with immobilized mono-/di-saccharides as acceptors.
A quartz crystal microbalance (QCM) was used to monitor dextransucrase (DSase)-catalyzed polysaccharide elongation on the glucose-/maltose-ended self-assembly monolayer (SAM) surfaces. Kinetic parameters of the enzymatic elongation indicate that maltose is a promising substrate acceptor for DSase.
متن کاملThermal aggregation of egg white proteins as affected by saccharides
Thermal characteristics of egg white proteins (EWP) may differ in the presence of saccharides. Therefore, the influence of saccharides including carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC), pectin, sucrose and maltodextrin and heating time on physicochemical characteristics of EWP as a whole were studied. Investigation of Heat Coagulation Time (HCT), solubility, turbidity and protein secondary structure of h...
متن کاملSeveral environmental oestrogens are also anti-androgens.
There is presently considerable interest in endocrine disruption which is a new area of endocrinology concerned with chemicals that mimic hormones, in particular sex steroids. It has been hypothesised that exposure to such chemicals may be responsible for adverse effects in both humans and wildlife. Until now, chemicals that mimic oestrogens (so-called xenoestrogens) have been the main focus of...
متن کاملUsing Acceptors as Transducers
We wish to use a given nondeterministic two-way multi-tape acceptor as a transducer by supplying the contents for only some of its input tapes, and asking it to generate the missing contents for the other tapes. We provide here an algorithm for assuring beforehand that this transduction always results in a finite set of answers. We also develop an algorithm for evaluating these answers whenever...
