Saccharides on the cell surfaces play important roles in the living systems. For example, it mediate the cell-cell adhesion, fertilization, protein transportation, infection of pathogens and cancer metastasis etc [1, 2]. The saccharide-protein interactions also involve the various biological events (Table 1). Actualy, the saccharides are the model compounds of some of the medicines like oseltam...

UEDA, SEINOSUKE (Kyushu University, Fukuoka, Japan), AND HARUYOSHI KONO. Polysaccharide produced by the genus Pullularia. II. Trans-a-glucosidation by acetone cells of Pullularia. Appl. Microbiol. 13:882-885. 1965.-Acetone cells of Pullularia sp. were incubated with maltose, and the saccharides produced were fractionated on a charcoal column. The fractions were subjected to paper-chromatographi...

In this work, we proposed a new aqueous biphasic system composed of hydrophilic ionic liquids (IL, 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate) and saccharides, forming an upper IL-rich phase and a lower sugars-rich phase. It was found that that the distance between binodal curves and the origin is the increasing order of sucrose<glucose<xylose<fructose, which was successfully elaborated in t...

Radix Rehmanniae (RR) is a kind of herb which is widely used in the clinical and food processing industry. There are four forms of RR used in traditional Chinese medicine practice, which include fresh RR (FRR), raw RR (RRR), processed RR (PRR), and another processed RR (APRR), in which the APRR was processed by nine cycles of repeated steaming and drying. There are a large number of saccharides...

A previous study (vijay, I. K., Perdew, G. H., and Lewis, D. E. (1980) J. BioL Chem. 255, 11210-11220) indicated that incubation of a membrane preparation from the lactating bovine mammary tissue with UDPISH]GlcNAc and GDP-[’“C]Man synthesized a series of lipid-linked saccharides that appeared to be related to one another as precursor products in the biosynthesis of asparagine-linked glycoprote...

BACKGROUND Tarhana, a wheat-yoghurt fermented mixture, is considered as a good source of saccharides, proteins, some vitamins and minerals. Moreover, their preparation is inexpensive and lactic acid fermentation offers benefits like product preservation, enhancement of nutritive value and sensory properties improvement. The aim of this work was to evaluate changes of some chemical parameters du...
