The Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 136, Supplement. Current Status and Prospects for Improved and New Bacterial Vaccines (Aug., 1977), pp. s71-s77 (7 pages) A polysaccharide antigenically ...

Lytic polysaccharide monooxygenases (LPMOs) are copper-containing enzymes that oxidatively break down recalcitrant polysaccharides such as cellulose and chitin. Since their discovery, LPMOs have ...

A NEW chemical synthesis of cellobiose by a simple and direct method has been accomplished by Stacey and Gilbert. The structure of the repeating unit in cellulose is therefore well established, and ...

Professor Iwata Tadahisa et al. of the University of Tokyo have developed an innovative high performance bioplastics from various polysaccharides obtained from natural biomass or by enzymatic ...

Polysaccharides are made by polymerizing more than 10 monosaccharide molecules through glycosidic bonds. The molecular weight of polysaccharides is relatively large, usually consisting of hundreds or ...

Function follows form. To a certain extent, the opposite of this guideline mainly followed by Bauhaus designers applies in biology: the form of a biomolecule determines its function. This has long ...
