The Max Planck Institute of Colloids and Interfaces (MPICI) has created a carbohydrate sequence that can fold into a stable secondary structure. To date, self-folding biopolymers had only been ...

Recent advances in both molecular dynamics (MD) simulations and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy have significantly enhanced our understanding of carbohydrate structure and dynamics.

Carbohydrate chemistry has evolved into a dynamic field that underpins key advances in both fundamental science and practical applications. The chemical synthesis of carbohydrates, including ...

A research team has unraveled the three-dimensional structure and molecular mechanism of ATP citrate lyase (ACLY). This is a central metabolic enzyme -- a protein that accelerates chemical reactions - ...

Lignocellulosic biomass is the largest renewable carbon resource on earth. Cellulose and hemicellulose, featuring polymeric carbohydrate structure, are important components of lignocellulose. Refinery ...

The glycans of the major capsid protein (Vp54) of Paramecium bursaria chlorella virus (PBCV-1) were recently described and found to be unusual. This prompted a reexamination of the previously reported ...

FRIDAY, Oct. 25, 2024 (HealthDay News) -- A eucaloric carbohydrate-restricted (CR) diet improves β-cell response to glucose in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D), according to a study published ...

Inflorescence meristems and vegetative tissues, excised from noninduced Bougainvillea `San Diego Red' plants, were cultured in vitro in media containing either 3% fructose, glucose or sucrose as ...
