α ,2-3- and α ,2-6-sialylated lactosaminide precursor structures obtained by various enzymatic procedures could be used for glycosylations employing triflic acid/N-iodosuccinimide. Easily accessible selectively protected lactoside derivatives served as acceptor disaccharides to give the corresponding human milk pentasaccharides in good yields. These were characterized by spectroscopic means in ...

Highly diastereo- and enantioselective conjugate addition of α-substituted nitroacetates to maleimides under base-free neutral phase-transfer conditions was developed for the synthesis of α,α-disubstituted α-amino acid derivatives.

Twelve multiparous Holstein cows averaging 57 d (36 to 77 d) postpartum at the start of the experiment were utilized in a replicated 4 x 4 Latin square design. Dietary protein supplements were 1) soybean meal, 2) soybean meal plus ruminally protected Lys and Met, 3) corn distillers grains, and 4) corn distillers grains plus ruminally protected Lys and Met. Dry matter intakes were lower for cows...

The peptide bond formation of N-protected non-coded amino acids having different structures as acyl donor substrates that is catalyzed by thermoase in organic media was investigated. In these reactions, N-protected l-non-coded amino acids, including l-Orn, l-Cit, -aminobutyric acid (l-Abu) and phenylalanine homologues, were used as the acyl donors and phenylalanine derivatives were used as the ...

Pseudomonas sp. MX-058 produces aldehyde oxidase catalysing glyoxal to glyoxylic acid. Two aldehyde oxidases (F10 and F13) were purified to homogeneity from Pseudomonas sp. MX-058. F10 and F13 had subunit structures, a heterotetramer and heteropentamer respectively. The N-terminal amino acid sequences of all subunits were highly homologous to amino acid sequences of the putative oxidoreductases...

The coupling reaction of benzoic acid and nicotinic acid hydrazides with N- protected L-amino acids including valine, leucine, phenylalanine, glutamic acid and tyrosine is reported. The target compounds, N-Boc-amino acid-(N;-benzoyl)- and N- Boc-amino acid-(N;-nicotinoyl) hydrazides 5a-5e and 6a-6e were prepared in very high yields and purity using N-[(dimethylamino)-1H-1,2,3-triazolo[4,5-b]pyr...
