Poly-N-acetyllactosamines are attached to N-glycans, O-glycans, and glycolipids and serve as underlying glycans that provide functional oligosaccharides such as sialyl Lewis. Poly-N-acetyllactosaminyl repeats are synthesized by the alternate addition of b1,3-linked GlcNAc and b1,4-linked Gal by i-extension enzyme (iGnT) and a member of the b1,4-galactosyltransferase (b4GalT) gene family. In the...

We present a novel and simple method for forming hexagonal gold nanoparticle arrays that uses Coulombic interactions between negatively charged gold nanoparticles on positively charged vertically oriented poly(4-vinylpyridine) cylinders formed in a spin cast polystyrene-b-poly(4-vinylpyridine) block copolymer film. Exposure of the block copolymer film to dibromobutane vapor quaternizes and cros...

We report here on the segment effects of poly(ethylene oxide)-containing block copolymers (PEO-BCP) on the reduction activity for tetrachloride gold(III) ([AuCl(4)](-)), interfacial activity for gold surface, colloidal stability, and morphology of gold nanoparticles formed in aqueous solutions. In particular, the effects of poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO), poly(propylene oxide) (PPO), polyethylene (...

There was a linear increase in poly (A+) polymerase activity in the C. arietinum epicotyls during germination. Six-day-old auxin treated seedlings showed about 3-4 fold stimulation in enzyme activity, accompanied with 3- fold rise in the relative abundance of poly (A+) RNA levels. Actinomycin D, cycloheximide, cordycepin and amino acid analogues caused dramatic decline in poly (A+) polymerase a...

in this paper, the morphology, roughness and nano structural properties of sio2/poly vinyl pyrrolidone  synthesized with sol gel method,  characterized by using scanning electron microscopy, atomic force microscopy and gps132a techniques.the main material taken from oxide silicon with weight percentage of 20, 40, 60, 80 and from poly vinyl pyrrolidone with percentages of 80, 60, 40, 20 is synth...
