Insertion of transition metal elements into organic polymeric scaffolds enables a nice coupling of the intriguing physical traits of metal complexes such as electronic, optical and magnetic properties with the solution processability of carbon-based macromolecules. The propensity of these metal-based polymers towards exhibiting metal-metal interactions can also provide additional means for mani...

The trehalose-P synthase was purified to near homogeneity from the cytoplasmic fraction of Mycobacterium smegmatis. At the final stage of purification, the enzyme preparation showed one major band of 59 kDa on SDS gels. The 59 kDa band became labeled with N3-UDP[32P]-glucose, and this labeling was inhibited in a concentration-dependent manner by either unlabeled UDP-glucose or GDP-glucose. The ...
