A beta-(1-5)-galactofuran was isolated and characterized from fraction F1S (alkali- and water-soluble) of the cell wall of most of the species of Eupenicillium. In E. cryptum, E. euglaucum and E. nepalense the galactan contained galactofuranose with different linkages in addition to beta-(1-5). Fraction F1I (alkali-soluble, water-insoluble) was an alpha-glucan in certain species while in others...

Modification of the free alkali light chains of myosin by iodoacetylation results in a much lower extent of exchange into myosin subfragment 1 by the thermal hybridization procedure (Burke, M., and Sivaramakrishnan, M. (1981) Biochemistry 20, 5908-5913). As reported by others (Wagner, P. D., and Stone, D. B. (1983) J. Biol. Chem. 258, 8876-8882), free alkali light chains modified by iodoacetate...

This is a case of Milk-AlKali syndrome in a patient who presented with the classical triad of hypercalcemia, metabolic alkalosis and renal impairment. The source of calcium was over-the-counter calcium-containing antacid (Tums®). Milk-alkali syndrome was first recognized secondary to treatment of peptic ulcer disease with milk and absorbable alkali. Its incidence fell after the introduction of ...

Hydroxyproline-poor glycoprotein contains a single polypeptide chain with lysine at the N-terminus. Removal of carbohydrate attached to serine by alkali treatment produces two polypeptide fractions. Labeling with (35)S indicates that most serine residues having a carbohydrate substituent removed by alkali occur on the polypeptide fraction of lower molecular weight. Following alkali treatment, t...

physicochemical properties of surimi and kamaboko obtained of solubility in acid, alkaline and conventional methods were compared. the results indicated that the highest protein recovery was related to solubility in acid, alkaline and conventional methods, respectively. the highest removal of lipid and myoglobin was observed by solubility in alkali. excretion of total pigment and sulfhydryl gro...

Alkali-enriched diets are recommended for humans to diminish the net acid load of their usual diet. In contrast, herbivores have to deal with a high dietary alkali impact on acid-base balance. Here we explore the role of nutritional alkali in experimentally induced chronic metabolic acidosis. Data were collected from healthy male adult rabbits kept in metabolism cages to obtain 24-h urine and a...

Alkali metal tricyanoborates M2B(CN)3 (M = Na, K) are accessible by the reaction of tricyanofluoroborates with alkali metals (i) in liquid NH3 or (ii) in THF-naphthalene. The M2B(CN)3 are versatile starting materials for the synthesis of K[RB(CN)3] (R = Et, C6F5, CH2=CHCH2).

Corneal neovascularization leads to blurred vision, thus in vivo visualization is essential for pathological studies in animal models. Photoacoustic (PA) imaging can delineate microvasculature and hemodynamics noninvasively, which is suitable for investigating corneal neovascularization. In this study, we demonstrate in vivo imaging of corneal neovascularization in the mouse eye by optical-reso...
