Taurine and 2-aminoethylphosphonic acid were synthesized by the method of the main paper [Geoghegan & Dixon (1989) Biochem. J. 260, 295-296], i.e. by treating the corresponding halo compound with 2-aminoethanol and then with periodate.

The biochemical composition of Sphaerospora dicentrarchi was studied. Periodate and Proteinase K treatments as well as lectin blots were used to analyse carbohydrate terminals. Zymography was applied to detect proteases. Four polyclonal antisera, raised against S. dicentrarchi (RaSdic), S. testicularis (RaStest), Ceratomyxa labracis (RaClab) and C. sparusaurati (RaCspr), were used in SDS polyac...

Methods for the detection and quantitative determination of ethanolamine in animal tissues and fluids have, with few exceptions, been focused upon phospholipide hydrolysates. They include the gold salt method of Trier (l), the CaO-ether extraction method of Thierfelder and Schulze (Z), isolation as the diiodosalicylate (Stetten (3)), and the periodate oxidation method employed by Artom (4). In ...

the epoxidation of olefins with tetra n-butylammonium periodate, n-bu4/nio4, is catalyzed by six different tetrakis (4-substituted phenyl) porphyrinatomanganese(iii) acetate, mn(t4-xpp)oac, complexes in the presence of imidazole as an axial ligand with low to high yields and complete selectivity at room temperature. while the electronic effects of the highly electron-withdrawing no2 substituent...
