The purpose of this study was to detect saccharide-protein interaction capitalizing on the gel-modified field effect transistor [FET]. A lectin-sensitive polymer gel that undergoes volume changes in response to the formation of molecular complex between 'pendant' carbohydrate and a 'target' lectin concanavalin A [Con A] was synthesized. It was revealed that direction and magnitude of the gel re...

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...

Acid-catalyzed hydrolysis of glycosidic bonds is the most important degradation mechanism affecting cellulose-based materials. It results in decrease DP and loss original mechanical properties. The neutralization acidity therefore one efficient ways to hamper cellulosic artworks. However, case acidic strongly degraded artifacts, addition deacidification, a consolidation treatment must be perfor...

Hydrogel spheres, fashioned from an operationally simple mould, that incorporate boronate units were shown to function as saccharide sensors.

conclusions ferric chloride is an effective haemostatic agent in controlling liver parenchymal tissue hemorrhage in an animal model. results the hemostasis time of ferric chloride concentration groups was significantly less than that of the control group (p value < 0.001). the pathologic examination showed the highest frequency of low grade inflammation based on the defined pathological grading...

Several prior studies suggest that ferric compounds bind dietary phosphate and possess clinical potential as phosphate binding agents. Therefore, this study was conducted to measure the effect of several ferric compounds on intestinal phosphate binding and absorption. Balance studies lasting 2 to 4 wk were performed in normal and azotemic (achieved by subtotal nephrectomy) rats maintained on a ...

Suitably protected mono- and di-saccharide residues associated with the glucuronic acid-containing repeat unit (1) related to pentosan polysulfate have been prepared. The stereo-controlled coupling, using trichloroacetimidate chemistry, of certain these is also described
