Ultraviolet matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometric (UV-MALDI-MS) analysis of highly acidic, thermally labile species such as glycosaminoglycan-derived oligosaccharides is complicated by their poor ionization efficiency and tendency to fragment through the loss of sulfo groups. We have utilized a systematic approach to evaluate the effect of alkali metal counterions on th...

High-field asymmetric waveform ion mobility spectrometry (FAIMS) is shown to be capable of resolving isomeric and isobaric glycosaminoglycan negative ions and to have great utility for the analysis of this class of molecules when combined with Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance mass spectrometry (FTICR-MS) and tandem mass spectrometry. Electron detachment dissociation (EDD) and other ion...

The water column in brackish and saline lakes hosts various forms of sulfur including sulfide (hydrosulfide), elemental, thiosulfate, sulfate sulfur. unequal distribution these reduced species indicates the presence two opposing processes - reduction oxidation newly formed hydrogen sulfide. scale varies among lakes, resulting differing proportions forms. bacterial ions is confirmed by a signifi...

In the asymmetric unit of the title hydrated salt, 2C6H6N3 (+)·SO4 (2-)·2H2O, there are two independent sulfate ions, one lying on a twofold axis, and the other in a general position. There are three independent benzotriazolium cations and three independent water mol-ecules. The sulfate ion in a general position forms hydrogen-bonded chains of stoichiometry SO4 (2-)·3H2O in the b-axis direction...

Two-phase aqueous systems have replaced and simplified steps in extraction purification processes, especially for biocompounds. Thus, this study evaluated the liquid-liquid equilibrium behavior of Pluronic L64 + water sodium salts at pH 5.0, 7.5, 10.0. Sodium sulfate demonstrated greatest phase separation, followed by citrate tartrate. Higher values resulted larger biphasic regions. The polymer...

This study evaluates the effects of different additives such as silver ion, medium and energy sources on the efficiency of mixed moderate thermophilic bioleaching approach to extract Cu, Mo and Re from molybdenite concentrate containing 0.98% Cu, 1.56% Fe, 53.84% Mo, and 0.055% Re. Molybdenite was the major phase of Mo-bearing mineral and chalcopyrite, covellite and pyrite were distinguished as...

Treatment of keratosulfates with alkali leads to the formation of 3,6-anhydroglucosaminyl groups in high yield. A similar reaction takes place with heparin and heparitin sulfate, though to a lesser extent. The anhydrosugar was isolated and compared with synthetic 3,6-anhydroglucosamine. The isolated compounds were identical in ion exchange chromatography in the amino acid analyzer and on Dowex ...

Antibodies are essential tools of biomedical and biochemical researches. Polyclonal antibodies are produced against different epitopes of antigens. Purified F(ab')2 can be used for animal’s immunization to produce polyclonal antibodies. Human immunoglobulin G (IgG) was purified by ion exchange chromatography method. In all stages verification method of the purified antibodies was sod...
