Application of the Ninhydrin and Alloxa n Reactions to Tissue Sections*
نویسندگان
چکیده
The ninhydrin and alloxan reactions have been criticized as being nonspecific and unreliable for histochemical studies due to the diffusion, solubility, and fading of their reaction products. This paper presents some modifications of the techniques that appear to render the reactions more reliable for the identification of proteins and peptides possessing terminal a-amino acids. The resulting color complexes are also stable.

A water-accelerated multi-component synthesis of organic target molecules was used as a key method for the preparation of cyclopentadiene derivatives. The three-component condensation reactions of primary amines with alkyl propiolates in the presence of N-methylimidazole in water at room temperature were developed as efficient and clean green synthetic procedures for the high-yielding preparati...
متن کاملAssessment of Sialic Acid Distribution in Mouse Epididymis
Previous studies have shown that epididymal epithelium and its secretions are critical for sperm maturation. These secretions contain many glycoconjugates with sialic acid terminal sugar. This terminal sugar by interveining in cellular interactions and masking surface receptors, has an important role in sperm maturation and protection. Moreover lectins have been employed as useful probes to det...
متن کاملUnique Carbohydrate Appearance of the Floor Plate During Early Neurolation
During early neurogenesis, the floor plate plays an essential role(s) in the differentiation of the ventral portion of neural tube. In this study, we detected the specific distribution of unique glycoconjugate during the floor plate differentiation. Formalin fixed paraffin sections of BALB/c mice (10-14 embryonic days) were processed for histochemical studies using horseradish peroxidase-labell...
