Periodate oxidation is one of the most important reaction in structural study of non-ionic polysaccharide. Periodate oxidation was done using sodium metaperiodate as oxidant proposed by Fluery & Lange’s method. It consumed 1.16 moles of periodate and liberated 0.23 moles of formic acid per mole of anhydrohexose unit after 50 hrs. The isolated water soluble seeds extract yielded sugars as D-gala...

served in IR spectrum. The inactivated lividomycin A consumed 6.2 moles of periodate for 24 hours as does lividomycin A (5.9 moles). Methanolysis of the inactivated lividomycin A (refluxed in 0.4 N hydrogen chloride in methanol for 6 hours) gave 3'deoxyparomamine, methyl lividotriosaminide phosphate and a small amount of methyl lividobiosaminide phosphate. These results indicate that the inacti...

Native low molecular weight neurofilaments (NF-L) from bovine spinal cord with original phosphate content of 0.4 moles of phosphate per 1 mol of protein were phosphorylated with cyclic AMP dependent protein kinase and protein kinase C. In a similar way recombinant mouse NF-L proteins which did not contain any phosphate were phosphorylated with the same enzymes in both, the assembled and disasse...
