Microbial sulfate reduction can impart strong sulfur isotope fractionation by preferentially using the lighter 32SO2! 4 over the heavier 34SO 4 . The magnitude of fractionation depends on a number of factors, including ambient concentrations of sulfate and electron donors. Sulfur isotope compositions in sedimentary rocks thus facilitate reconstruction of past environmental conditions, such as s...

Acharan sulfate is a glycosaminoglycan (GAG), having the structure -->4)-2-acetamido-2-deoxy-alpha-D-glucopyranose(1-->4)-2-sulfo-alpha-L-idopyranosyluronic acid (1-->, isolated from the body of the giant African snail Achatina fulica. This GAG represents 3-5% of the dry weight of this snail's soft body tissues. Frozen sections and polyester wax sections of the snail's body were stained by Alci...

Proteoglycans were isolated from either grossly normal or atherosclerotic pigeon aortas after extraction with 4 M guanidine hydrochloride and purification by ion-exchange and size-exclusion chromatography. The small-size proteoglycans (Kav 0.4, on Sepharose CL-4B) from both normal and atherosclerotic tissue contained primarily a dermatan sulfate proteoglycan with an intact molecular size of 220...

New sulfate and hydrogen sulfate complexes of metalloporphyrins have been synthesized and crystallographically characterized and their photochemistry examined. Irradiation of [Mn(TPP)],(SO,) and Mn(TPP)(OS03H) (where TPP = 5,10,15,20-tetraphenylporphyrinate(2-)) produces Mn"(TPP) quantitatively, with quantum yields of 7.1 X IO4 and 9.8 X IO-', respectively. In contrast to other manganese oxoani...

In the title complex, [Cd(SO(4))(C(9)H(8)N(6))(H(2)O)(4)]·2H(2)O, the Cd(II) ion is six-coordinated by one N atom from a 1-[(1H-1,2,3-benzotriazol-1-yl)meth-yl]-1H-1,2,4-triazole ligand and by five O atoms from four water mol-ecules and one monodentate sulfate anion in a distorted octa-hedral geometry. The sulfate tetra-hedron is rotationally disordered over two positions in a 0.651 (12):0.349 ...

The precursors, [3SS]sulfate and [2-3H]mannose, were used to study the biosynthesis of keratan sulfate and other oligosaccharides on proteoglycans isolated from Day 8 cultures of chick limb bud chondrocytes. After alkaline borohydride treatment, three fractions with sialic acid were separated by molecular sieve chromatography. The first contained keratan sulfate which was purified by digestion ...

The Co(II) ion in the title complex, [Co(SO(4))(C(13)H(8)N(4))(H(2)O)(2)](n), has a slightly distorted octa-hedral coordination environment formed by two O atoms from two symmetry-related bridging sulfate ligands, two N atoms from a bis-chelating 1H-imidazo[4,5-f][1,10]phenanthroline (IPL) ligand and two O atoms from coordinated water mol-ecules. The bridging sulfate ligands connect Co(II) ions...

The dihydroxy acid dehydratase of Neurospora crassa was purified lOOto 150-fold by fractionation with protamine sulfate, ammonium sulfate, Sephadex, and DEAE-Sephadex. It was found that the purified protein migrated in an electric field as a single band on acrylamide gel and in the analytical centrifuge. It had a lipid content of 44 to 50%. The enzyme activity was stabilized by the presence of ...

In the title complex, [Cu(C(2)H(3)O(2))(C(10)H(8)N(2))(2)](CH(3)CH(2)OSO(3))(0.5)(CH(3)OSO(3))(0.5), the Cu(II) ion is bis-chelated by two 2,2'-bipyridine lignds and coordinated by an O atom of an acetate ligand in a CuN(4)O disorted square-pyramidal environment. In the structure, equal amounts of methyl sulfate and ethyl sulfate anions are disordered on the same crystallographic sites. The cry...
