Azides in Carbohydrate Chemistry

The fi rst az.ide-contain ing sugar, a glycosyl azide. was reponed in 1930 by Bertho. j Since that lime various methods have been developed for the introduction of azides at d ifferent positions of sugars. A survey of available methods is given in Section 16.2. Unlillhc lale I 970s, azidcs contai ned in carbohydrate deri vatives were simply used as accessible syn-thons [or amities because of th...

Food Carbohydrate Chemistry

The reactions of sugars that are critical in food science applications can be organized into a few general types of reactions that are heavily influenced by pH. Although there are a few exceptions, most of these reactions occur under the relatively mild conditions that prevail during processing and storage. This chapter will not address reactions of chemical synthesis and sugar structure proof....

Thisessaydiscusseslupus, an imnnme-systemdysfunctionthat affects may, especiallyyoung women, but is recognized by all too few. Its multiple manifestations have been baffling to researchers for over 100years; only rexently have the tools of molecular biology and immunogenetics reveafed substantial new information on its mechanism of autoimmunity. Still, the ukimate trigger for lupus remains a my...

Hacking Davidson

Scheme,” Donald Davidson argues against the logical possibility of conceptual schemes. Believing it a remnant of the incomplete eradication of dogma in the empiricist tradition, Davidson wishes to undermine what he believes is the source of talk of conceptual relativism: the third dogma of scheme-content duality. Building on Quine, he constructs an argument intended to illustrate the peculiar p...
