The title compound, C(13)H(24)O(10) is the methyl glycoside of a structural element α-l-Fucp-(1→ 3)-α-d-Galp making up two thirds of the repeating unit in the capsular polysaccharide of Klebsiella K63. The conformation of the title compound is described by the glycosidic torsion angles ϕ(H) = 55 (1)° and ψ(H) = -24 (1)°. The hy-droxy-methyl group in the galactose residue is present in the gauch...

A new and efficient procedure has been designed for the preparation of 6-arylmethylene-amino-2-alkyl sulfonylpyrimidine. The first alkylthio group was introduced into the pyrimidine ring by S-alkylation. The introduction of the second one was successfully achieved using the phosphorous oxychloride method to afford 4-chloro-2-alkylthiopyrimidines. Subsequent nucleophilic displacement by the corr...

Chlorogenic acid, the depside formed by the condensation of caffeic and quinic acids, was first obtained in crystalline form by Gorter (1909) from green coffee beans, although considerably earlier Ludwig & Kromeyer (1854) had noted the presence in the seeds of the sunflower of a compound which was undoubtedly chlorogenic acid. The acid was first thought to be a glycoside of caffeic acid, but Go...

For many decades, the area of alternative medicine has attracted considerable attention from researchers worldwide. Interestingly, evidence abounds that affirms efficacy in various healthcare domain. Moreso, plants properties have been well explored relating to its medicinal compositions. The purpose present study was analyze antimicrobial and bioactive contents M. Myristica seed. samples were ...

Streptococcus mutans dextranase hydrolyzes the internal α-1,6-linkages of dextran and belongs to glycoside hydrolase family 66. An N- and C-terminal deletion mutant of S. mutans dextranase was crystallized by the sitting-drop vapour-diffusion method. The crystals diffracted to a resolution of 1.6 Å and belonged to space group P2(1), with unit-cell parameters a = 53.2, b = 89.7, c = 63.3 Å, β = ...

Dextran glucosidase from Streptococcus mutans is an exo-hydrolase that acts on the nonreducing terminal alpha-1,6-glucosidic linkage of oligosaccharides and dextran with a high degree of transglucosylation. Based on amino-acid sequence similarity, this enzyme is classified into glycoside hydrolase family 13. Recombinant dextran glucosidase was purified and crystallized by the hanging-drop vapou...

Alpha-L-Arabinofuranosidase (EC 3.2.1.55) is one of the hemicellulases that cleave the glycosidic bonds between L-arabinofuranoside side chains and various oligosaccharides. In this study, the first crystallization and preliminary X-ray analysis of alpha-L-arabinofuranosidase B from Aspergillus kawachii IFO4308 (AkAbfB), a family 54 glycoside hydrolase, is described. Recombinant AkAbfB was expr...
