An arabinogalactan with a high content of 3-O-methyl-D-galactose residues has been isolated from the aerial parts of sage (Salvia officinalis L.). Structural studies of the polymer indicated a beta-1,6-D-galactopyranose backbone in which at least one-third of D-galactopyranosyl residues carries methoxyl

The existence of stabilizing carbohydrate-aromatic interactions is demonstrated from both the theoretical and experimental viewpoints. The geometry of experimentally based galactose-lectin complexes has been properly accounted for by using a MP2/6-31G(d,p) level of theory and by considering a counterpoise correction

Alcohol substrate binding to the copper-containing enzyme galactose oxidase (GOase) has been studied by kinetic competition against cyanide and fluoride, 13C nmr relaxation, and esr competition experiments. The 13C nmr spectra of the substrate beta-O-methyl-D-galactopyranoside (beta-O-me-gal) show no apparent paramagnetic

An unexpected alpha-(1-->4) linkage was formed predominantly in the presence of neighboring participation group during

The development of pest resistance threatens the effectiveness of Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) toxins used in transgenic and organic farming. Here, we demonstrate that (i) the major mechanism for Bt toxin resistance in Caenorhabditis elegans entails a loss of glycolipid carbohydrates;
