Recent studies concerning properties of oligonucleotides (ONs) with aminoalkyl side chains at the nucleobase and sugar moieties have been comprehensively reviewed in relation to the antisense, antigene, ribozyme, aptamer, decoy, and siRNA strategies. Thermal stabilities of ONs incorporating nucleoside analogs with a wide variety of aminoalkyl side chains at the 5and 4-positions of pyrimidine ba...

this study was carried out in lorestan silakhoor plain  during 2001-2002. twenty soil properties from 25 profiles were evaluated. profiles studied were entisols and inceptisols. moreover, soil classification resulted in 5 subgroups, 8 families and 17 soil series. in the study, parametric land evaluation method was used. the strong correlation between the land index and observed yield (r = 0.55)...

We investigated the effect of salt, sugar, and hydrolyzed egg yolk protein (HEY) on yolk's rheological properties, thermal behavior, microstructure for a better understanding their gelation inhibition mechanism. Salted samples had highest yield stress, followed by HEY sugared samples. With addition denaturation temperature amount free water significantly increased. Conversely, sugar no signific...

Monoclonal antibodies are the fastest growing class of biotherapeutics. Ensuring their colloidal and conformational stability in liquid dispersions is crucial for maintaining therapeutic efficacy and economic viability. Sugars are often added to increase the colloidal and thermal stability of protein; however, determining which sugar is the most stabilizing requires time and sample-consuming st...

Vegetable oils are frequently structured to enhance their organoleptic and mechanical properties. This is usually achieved by increasing the net amount of saturated and/or trans fatty acids in the oil. With the risk of coronary heart diseases associated with these fatty acids, the food industry is looking for better alternatives. In this context, the medium-chain dialkanoates of low-calorie sug...

A supramolecular carbohydrate-functionalized two-dimensional (2D) surface was designed and synthesized by decorating thermally reduced graphene sheets with multivalent sugar ligands. The formation of host-guest inclusions on the carbon surface provides a versatile strategy, not only to increase the intrinsic water solubility of graphene-based materials, but more importantly to let the desired b...

In December and January the frequency of heart beat in Limax exhibits micro = 11,500 +/- 250. The ingestion of a small volume of sugar solution results in temporary change of micro to 16,200 +/- 320, which accords quantitatively with the value obtained from these slugs in spring. This effect of the sugar is reversible, but lasts longer than the abolition of negative phototropism which the sugar...

Sugar beet pulp is an abundant industrial waste material that holds a great potential for bioethanol production owing to its high content of cellulose, hemicelluloses, and pectin. Its structural and chemical robustness limits the yield of fermentable sugars obtained by hydrolyzation and represents the main bottleneck for bioethanol production. Physical (ultrasound and thermal) pretreatment meth...

The synthesis, characterization and biological assays of two new rhodium carboxylate sugar derivatives and respective cyclosphosphamide adducts are described. The compounds, characterized by (13)C and (1)H NMR, infrared and UV-visible spectra, presented high water solubility and hydration grades were confirmed given the concordance between thermal and CHN analyses. The adducts were active in vi...

A discussion of factors considered influential in making a polynucleotide an efficient inducer of interferon was presented. These factors were double-strandedness of the polynucleotides, the sugar moiety of the polynucleotides, thermal stability, resistance to enzymatic degradation, and molecular size of the polynucloetides. Recent developments concerning interferon induction during virus infec...
