Sialic acids are cytoprotectors, mainly localized on the surface of cell membranes with
multiple and outstanding cell biological functions. The history of their structural analysis, …

Since the pioneering work on structure and function of heteroglycans compiled in the
classical books edited by A. Gottschalk in 1972 1 , there have been several promising …

Stevia glycosides, extracted from the leaves of the plant Stevia rebaudiana Bertoni, display
an amazing high degree of sweetness. As processed plant products, they are considered as …

The absolute configuration of neutral monosaccharides, 2-acetamido-2-deoxy sugars, and
uronic acids can be determined by capillary glc on SE-30 after glycosidation with (-)-2-…

Capillary glc on SE-30 of the trimethylsilylated (-)-2-butyl glycosides of d and l monosaccharides
gives multiple peak patterns, which can be used for the assignment of the absolute …

The quantitative analysis by gas chromatography of monosaccharides present in
glycoproteins and glycopeptides using methanolysis, followed by re-N-acetylation and …

Lactobacillus reuteri LB 121 cells growing on sucrose synthesize large amounts of a glucan
(d-glucose) and a fructan (d-fructose) with molecular masses of 3,500 and 150 kDa, …

A 5-year-old boy, excreting large amounts of 2-hydroxyglutaric acid in the urine (3.3–7.6
mmol/l), is described. The patient presented with psychomotor retardation and dystrophy. His …

The N‐glycans from 27 “plant” foodstuffs, including one from a gymnospermic plant and one
from a fungus, were prepared by a new procedure and examined by means of matrix-…

Human Tamm‐Horsfall glycoprotein has been purified from the urine of one male. The Asn‐linked
carbohydrate chains were enzymically released by peptide‐N 4 ‐(N‐acetyl‐β‐…
