Solubility of amino acids, sugars, and proteins*
The importance of biomolecules is well recognized nowadays, owing to their application in many industrial processes, particularly in the food, pharmaceutical, and cosmetic industries. Amino acids, carbohydrates, and proteins are the three types of biomolecules considered in this review. Solubilities of several amino acids and sugars have been measured in water and, more recently, in mixed solve...
متن کاملSugars sprinkled onto proteins in the Golgi
hoose the right experimental system to test a hypothesis: that has and always will be one of the ten commandments of cell biology. By the mid-1960s, several secretory cell types—liver, pancreatic, pituitary—had been exploited for tracking the path and fate of their abundant loads of secreted proteins. And by 1964, these cells had revealed a sketch of the secretory pathway from the ER to the Gol...
متن کاملUltrasensitive detection of proteins and sugars at single-cell level
Each cell produces its own responses even if it appears identical to other cells. To analyze these individual cell characteristics, we need to measure trace amounts of molecules in a single cell. Nucleic acids in a single cell can be easily amplified by polymerase chain reaction, but single-cell measurement of proteins and sugars will require de novo techniques. In the present study, we outline...
متن کاملProteins that bind high-mannose sugars of the HIV envelope.
A broad range of proteins bind high-mannose carbohydrates found on the surface of the envelope protein gp120 of the human immunodeficiency virus and thus interfere with the viral life cycle, providing a potential new way of controlling HIV infection. These proteins interact with the carbohydrate moieties in different ways. A group of them interacts as typical C-type lectins via a Ca2+ ion. Anot...
متن کاملUrinary Sugars—A Biomarker of Total Sugars Intake
Measurement error in self-reported sugars intake may explain the lack of consistency in the epidemiologic evidence on the association between sugars and disease risk. This review describes the development and applications of a biomarker of sugars intake, informs its future use and recommends directions for future research. Recently, 24 h urinary sucrose and fructose were suggested as a predicti...
