The participation of phosphoric acid in alcoholic fermentation and in the biological utilization of carbohydrates in general, is one of the most important discoveries made in connection with the study of these systems. Numerous attempts have been made to correlate this discovery with the many observations regarding the carbohydrate-phosphates which are formed in such biologic processes, but opi...

Several methods for simple and efficient chemical synthesis of dolichyl phosphates and their analogues and derivatives are briefly summarized with a special emphasis on chemical modification of phosphoryl group and preparation of dolichyl phosphates labelled at the omega-end and at the gamma-isoprene unit of the isoprene chain by fluorescent groups, 2-aminopyridine and 1-aminonaphtalene residue...

It has been reported previously that polymeric phosphates of phloretin and related compounds are potent inhibitors of several enzymes including alkaline phosphatase and hyaluronidase (Diczfalusy et al. 1953). Preliminary studies suggested that a similar inhibition of acid phosphatases may also take place (Diczfalusy et al. 1953). This paper reports on the kinetics of human seminal acid phosphat...
