The inclusion of low-acetylated Gellan Gum and κ-carrageenan into amyloid fibril gels reinforces them mechanically, while preserving the surface functionality fibrils.

there is some evidence on the effects of organic acids on the functional properties of native starches. however, there is little information on such effects on modified starches. the main objective of this study was to determine the effects of l-ascorbic acid (150 mg kg-1, as the permitted level in bakery products) on functional properties of cross-linked wheat starch. once the starch was treat...

1. Acetylated chymotrypsinogen was prepared by the reaction of crystallized chymotrypsinogen with acetic anhydride at pH 6.7 and 4O, and purification of the product. End group analysis and Van Slyke amino nitrogen determination indicated that all the free Eand or-amino groups of the chymotrypsinogen molecule had been blocked by acetylation. 2. Activation of acetylated chymotrypsinogen by trypsi...

Contributions of tyrosyl residues to trypsinand chymotrypsin-inhibitory activities in two homologous proteinase inhibitors were investigated by modifying them with N-acetylimidazole under various conditions. In Bowman-Birk soybean proteinase inhibitor, Tyr 55, immediately following the antichymotryptic site, Leu 53-Ser 54, is relatively inaccessible to N-acetylimidazole and can only be acetylat...

from chitinase hydrolyzate of the fungal cell wall by CM-Sephadex C-25 column chromatography, while (GlcNAc)2 and seyeral types of deacety]ated chitooligosaccharides were separated from that of 2S---35% acetylated chitesan. The results indicate that ?VLacetylglucosamine residues in the pelysaccharide chains of the fungal cell waR are most likely condensed into some region, while acetylated resi...

The purpose of this study was to compare the expression of O-acetylated sialic acids on normal colonie epithelial cells to that on primary and metastatic human adenocarcinoma of the colon and rectum. In 24 cases, the relative percentages of biosynthetically labeled non-, mono-, di-, and tri-O-acetylated sialic acids were measured after hydrolytic release, separation, and identification by paper...

Protein lysine acetylation is recognized as an important reversible post translational modification in all domains of life. While its primary roles appear to reside in metabolic processes, lysine acetylation has also been implicated in regulating pathogenesis in bacteria. Several global lysine acetylome analyses have been carried out in various bacteria, but thus far there have been no reports ...
