Alternansucrase (EC 2.4.1.140, sucrose: (1-->6), (1-->3)-alpha-D-glucan 6(3)-alpha-D-glucosyltransferase) is a D-glucansucrase that synthesizes an alternating alpha-(1-->3), (1-->6)-linked D-glucan from sucrose. It also synthesizes oligosaccharides via D-glucopyranosyl transfer to various acceptor sugars. We have studied the acceptor products arising from methyl glycosides

The specificity of Saccharomyces cerevisiae yeast on the removal of carbohydrates by fermentation was studied. The common monosaccharides, D-glucose, D-fructose, D-mannose, and D-galactose were completely removed; D-glucuronic acid and D-ribose were partially removed; but D-xylose, D-rhamnose, and L-sorbose were not

We studied the effects of d-glucose on transgene expression in mammalian cells by a reporter gene assay using CV-1 cells and a CMV promoter-controlled EGFP gene. Treatment of CV-1 cells with 5% D-glucose unchanged the number of fluorescent cells in

Sugar end-capped poly-D,L-lactide (SPDLA) polymers were investigated as a potential release controlling excipient in oral sustained release matrix tablets. The SPDLA polymers were obtained by a catalytic ring-opening polymerization technique using methyl alpha-D-gluco-pyranoside as a multifunctional initiator in the polymerization.

Differentiation of underivatized monosaccharides is essential in the structural elucidation of oligosaccharides which are closely involved in many life processes. So far, such differentiation has been usually achieved by electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESI-MS). As an alternative to ESI-MS, atmospheric
