Neutral Sugar Analysis of Tobacco Cell Wall Fractions [PDF]
AbstractA method for the determination of the neutral sugar content of tobacco cell wall fractions has been developed. The seven neutral sugars - rhamnose, fucose, arabinose, xylose, mannose, glucose and galactose - determined in the analysis represent the usual glycosyl residues found in plant cell wall polysaccharides.

Common Characteristics of HIV-Neutralizing Antibodies with a Fondness for Sugars [PDF]
Broadly neutralizing antibodies targeting quaternary epitopes on the apex of the HIV-1 envelope spike are an attractive vaccine target, yet engineering immunogens that recapitulate such epitopes has proven difficult. In this issue of Immunity, Andrabi and colleagues (2015) identify an exciting new candidate immunogen that could initiate the production ...

Does low-energy sweetener consumption affect energy intake and body weight? A systematic review, including meta-analyses, of the evidence from human and animal studies [PDF]
By reducing energy density, low-energy sweeteners (LES) might be expected to reduce energy intake (EI) and body weight (BW). To assess the totality of the evidence testing the null hypothesis that LES exposure (versus sugars or unsweetened alternatives ...

Mucilage Polysaccharide Composition and Exudation in Maize From Contrasting Climatic Regions
Mucilage, a gelatinous substance comprising mostly polysaccharides, is exuded by maize nodal and underground root tips. Although mucilage provides several benefits for rhizosphere functions, studies on the variation in mucilage amounts and its ...

Rethinking plastic waste: innovations in enzymatic breakdown of oil‐based polyesters and bioplastics
Plastic pollution remains a critical environmental challenge, and current mechanical and chemical recycling methods are insufficient to achieve a fully circular economy. This review highlights recent breakthroughs in the enzymatic depolymerization of both oil‐derived polyesters and bioplastics, including high‐throughput protein engineering, de novo ...

The effect of neutral sugar distribution on the dilute solution conformation of sugar beet pectin [PDF]
A partially degraded sugar beet pectin (C) was found to be heterogeneous in composition with neutral sugar-rich fractions of both high and low hydrodynamic radii. A neutral sugar-poor fraction was found at intermediate hydrodynamic radii. In this paper we demonstrate using both conformation zoning and the global analysis method that fractions of sugar ...
