Antibodies are used extensively for a wide range of basic research and clinical applications. While an abundant and diverse collection of antibodies to protein antigens have been developed, good monoclonal antibodies to carbohydrates are much less common. Moreover, it can be difficult to determine if a particular antibody has the appropriate specificity, which antibody is best suited for a give...

Earlier studies from this and other laboratories have shown that the presence of glucose inhibits the formation of certain inducible enzymes in bacteria (Boyd and Lichstein, 1955; Magasanik, 1957). This phenomenon is not specific to glucose, but rather is shared by other carbohydrates utilized by the bacterial cells. Although several mechanisms have been proposed to explain this carbohydrate ef...

effect of different concentrations of ammonium chloride (ncl) and ammonium nitrate (nn)and surfactants such as tween-80, hpcd and rhamnolipids on the bioremediation of pahs and ocps wasinvestigated. the results showed that the best optimum concentration of ncl and nn was 50 g·kg-1, and thepahs degradation rate during 60 days of remediation was enhanced to 64.6% and 62.8% for ncl and nn,respecti...

background: eutrophication is one of the detrimental environmental problems in water reservoirs dye to the irregular introducing nutrients (phosphorus and nitrogen). this study aimed to explore the eutrophication state of ekbatan reservoir, hamadan, western iran. methods: monthly sampling was conducted during april 2010 to march 2011. seven sampling stations were selected in the various locatio...

Creative with carbohydrates! This Virtual Issue on Carbohydrates in the 21 (st) Century: Synthesis and Applications highlights current research in the carbohydrate field in which synthesis underpins the development of novel applications of sugar-based materials in medicine, diagnostics, and as antiinfectives.
