Carbohydrates are ubiquitous. They densely carpet cell surfaces. They are the main component of the extracellular matrix that surrounds cells. They are involved in many aspects of cell-cell ...
Carbohydrates play a wide range of important roles in the body and, despite the challenges posed by glycobiology, are now tempting targets for drug developers. Although several genomes have been ...
The Max Planck Institute of Colloids and Interfaces (MPICI) has created a carbohydrate sequence that can fold into a stable secondary structure. To date, self-folding biopolymers had only been ...
Carbohydrate chemistry has evolved into a dynamic field that underpins key advances in both fundamental science and practical applications. The chemical synthesis of carbohydrates, including ...
A research team has unraveled the three-dimensional structure and molecular mechanism of ATP citrate lyase (ACLY). This is a central metabolic enzyme -- a protein that accelerates chemical reactions - ...
DURHAM, N.H. – Researchers at the University of New Hampshire Glycomics Center have helped identify a specific carbohydrate structure that confers anti-inflammatory activity to a glycoprotein antibody ...
Lignocellulosic biomass is the largest renewable carbon resource on earth. Cellulose and hemicellulose, featuring polymeric carbohydrate structure, are important components of lignocellulose. Refinery ...
Journal of Experimental Botany, Vol. 54, No. 382, Special Issue: Regulation of Carbon Metabolism (January 2003), pp. 595-604 (10 pages) Protein phosphorylation is key to the regulation of many ...
The low molecular weight carbohydrates in various species of the red algal genus Hypoglossum (Delesseriaceae, Ceramiales) were analysed using HPLC, 1H and 13C-nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy ...
