The present experiment was carried out to determine the digestion kinetics of carbohydrate fractions of citrus by-products. Grapefruit pulp (GP), lemon pulp (LE), lime pulp (LI) and orange pulp (OP) were the test feed. Digestion kinetic of whole citrus by-products and neutral detergent fiber (NDF) fraction and acid detergent fiber (ADF) fractions of citrus by-products were measured using the <e...

Carbohydrate compositions of chloroform: methanol-soluble and -insoluble complex polysaccharides have been studied in cell lines derived from BALB/c mice. The cells used in these studies include normal cells, spontaneous and viral transformants that cause tumors that regress, and spontaneous and viral transformants that cause progressively growing tumors that kill immunocompetent BALB/c mice. T...

The effect of different rates of ethanol additive on fermentation quality of napiergrass (Pennisetum purpureum) and residual water soluble carbohydrate were studied in the experiment. The addition rate of ethanol was 0%, 1.5%, 2.5%, 3.5%, 4.5% on fresh weight of napiergrass. The laboratory silos were kept in the room, then were opened on 1, 3, 5, 7, 14, 30 days after ensiling and the changes of...

The hydroxylysine-containing glycopeptides from collagenase-Pronase digests of bovine tendon collagen were found to have glucose and galactose as their monosaccharide components. The ratio of galactose to glucose in these glycopeptides was greater than unity and after alkaline hydrolysis both glucosylgalactosylhydroxylysine and galactosylhydroxylysine were found. In order to determine the conte...

Mannose-binding lectin (MBL) is present in human serum and plays an important role in innate immunity by binding to carbohydrate on micro-organisms. Whereas the gp120/gp41 of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) contains numerous N-linked glycosylation sites and many of these sites contain high-mannose glycans which could interact with MBL, the interaction between MBL and primary isolate...

This paper reports a chemical strategy for preparing carbohydrate arrays and utilizes these arrays for the characterization of carbohydrate-protein interactions. Carbohydrate chips were prepared by the Diels-Alder-mediated immobilization of carbohydrate-cyclopentadiene conjugates to self-assembled monolayers that present benzoquinone and penta(ethylene glycol) groups. Surface plasmon resonance ...
