A new study published in the Journal of American Medical Association found that pneumococcal polysaccharide vaccine (PPV23) ...

The composition of cell walls varies depending on the function of the tissue and the species of plant. Primary cell walls surround expanding cells in young tissues, whereas thickened secondary cell ...

Lytic polysaccharide monooxygenases (LPMOs) are recently discovered enzymes that oxidatively deconstruct polysaccharides. LPMOs are fundamental in the effective utilization of these substrates by ...

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, Vol. 116, No. 1 (January 2, 2019), pp. 193-198 (6 pages) Glycoconjugate vaccines are among the most effective ...

Polysaccharide-based chiral stationary phases have been developed that comprise chiral selectors immobilized on their support rather than being physically coated. These materials are completely ...

HealthDay News — For children with nutritional iron-deficiency anemia (IDA), ferrous sulfate is associated with a greater increase in hemoglobin concentration at 12 weeks compared with iron ...

The polysaccharide (sugar substance) chitosan has a documented antibacterial effect. New research shows that this antibacterial activity varies according to the chemical composition of the chitosan.

Polysaccharide-protein conjugate vaccines are among the safest and most successful vaccines developed during the last 30 years. Physicochemical techniques are a powerful tool for the structural ...

This is a preview. Log in through your library . Abstract Brown algal cell walls share some components with plants (cellulose) and animals (sulfated fucans), but they also contain some unique ...

By cultivating Antrodia cinnamomea in a carefully controlled environment rich in ammonium sulfate, the team was able to stimulate the fungus to produce a special kind of molecule called a sulfated ...

Albizzia julibrissin is a widely distributed plant in China. Its dried stem bark has been used in traditional oriental medicine to treat insomnia, diuresis, sthenia, ascaricide, and confusion.

Hooking sugar molecules together to make strings called glycans—also known as oligosaccharides and polysaccharides—is one of synthetic chemistry’s most bedeviling challenges. Carbohydrates are ...
