Weak carbohydrate-carbohydrate interactions in membrane adhesion are fuzzy and generic [PDF]
Nanoscale, 2020, DOI: 10.1039/D0NR03696J, 2020 Carbohydrates such as the trisaccharide motif LeX are key constituents of cell surfaces. Despite intense research, the interactions between carbohydrates of apposing cells or membranes are not well understood. In this article, we investigate carbohydrate-carbohydrate interactions in membrane adhesion as well as in solution with extensive atomistic ...

A whole-body multi-scale mathematical model for dynamic simulation of the metabolism in man [PDF]
arXiv, 2022 We propose a whole-body model of the metabolism in man as well as a generalized approach for modeling metabolic networks. Using this approach, we are able to write a large metabolic network in a systematic and compact way. We demonstrate the approach using a whole-body model of the metabolism of the three macronutrients, carbohydrates, proteins and ...

Quantitative modeling and simulation of biochemical processes in the human body [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 We present a whole-body model of human metabolism that utilizes a system of organs and blood vessels to simulate the enzymatic reactions. The model focuses on key organs, including the brain, heart and lungs, liver, gut, and kidney, as well as muscle and adipose tissue.

Berries: Health Effects via Modulation of the Gut Microbiota
Food Frontiers, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Berries are widely regarded as beneficial foods, rich in polyphenols, flavonoids, and other bioactive compounds that could positively influence human health. Although the gut microbiota plays a crucial role in metabolism and physiology of humans, the interaction between berries and human gut microbiota activity remains unclear.

Kinetics and thermodynamics of reversible polymerization in closed systems [PDF]
New J. Phys. 17, 085008 (2015), 2015 Motivated by a recent work on the metabolism of carbohydrates in bacteria, we study the kinetics and thermodynamics of two classic models for reversible polymerization, one preserving the total polymer concentration and the other one not. The chemical kinetics is described by rate equations following the mass-action law. We consider a closed system and

Term infant formula macronutrient composition: An update for clinicians
Journal of Pediatric Gastroenterology and Nutrition, EarlyView.Abstract Protein, carbohydrates, and fats comprise the macronutrient components of infant formulas. While all infant formulas in the United States meet specific nutrition standards, the macronutrient composition of formulas is diverse. Each macronutrient in the formula may play a role in treating or managing the disease.

Rapid and sensitive quantification of C3- and C6-phosphoesters in starch by fluorescence-assisted capillary electrophoresis [PDF]
Carbohydrate Polymers, Elsevier, 2016, 152, pp.784-791, 2019 Phosphate groups are naturally present in starch at C3- or C6-position of the glucose residues and impact the structure of starch granules. Their precise quantification is necessary for understanding starch physicochemical properties and metabolism. Nevertheless, reliable quantification of Glc-3-P remains laborious and time consuming.

Electrokinetic Manipulations Combined With Direct and Ambient Ionization Mass Spectrometry
Mass Spectrometry Reviews, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Mass spectrometry (MS) is a powerful analytical technique that typically involves sample preparation and online analytical separation before MS detection. Traditional methods often face bottlenecks in sample preparation and analytical separation, despite the rapid detection capabilities of MS.
