The estimation of carbohydrates plays an important part in both pure and applied plant physiology. While satisfactory methods of extracting and determining the individual types of carbohydrates are available, the complete fractionation of these is a tedious process. Furthermore, for many purposes of a more applied nature the determination of the total available carbohydrate content is of greate...

Culex mosquitoes feed on a wide range of nectars consisting of mostly carbohydrates and amino acids, however, little is known about the utilization and effects of these different carbohydrates and their accompanying amino acids on longevity. Culex quinquefasciatus larvae were reared on low- and high-quantity food diets to produce adults that were nutritionally representative of wild-caught and ...

F a c u l t y M e n t o r T 1H-NMR spectra of carbohydrates are difficult to analyze because they exhibit spectral crowding. The compound trichloroacetyl isocyanate (TAI) replaces the hydroxyl groups of carbohydrates with protein-like structures containing NH groups. The NH groups appear downfield in the 1H-NMR spectra, allowing them to be counted. The proximal ring protons of TAI-derivatized c...

A critical event in an immune response is the T cell recognition of peptides bound to major histocompatibility complex (MHC) molecules on the surface of an antigen presenting cell (APC). Although the majority of eukaryotic proteins are glycosylated, it has not yet been shown that T cell recognition of such proteins involves recognition of the bound carbohydrates. Type II collagen (CII), the maj...

in order to investigate the effect of phosphorus fertilizer and spraying fe chellat in micronutrients absorption rate, rate of proline and soluble carbohydrates in bread wheat and some of its ancestral species in dryland condition, a factorial experiment was conducted with three factors consist of: p fertilizer (in two levels), spraying fe chellat (in two levels) and different species of wheat ...
