Simple sugars and their derivatives—with oxygen, nitrogen, sulphur or phosphorous
anchoring donor groups—form metal ion complexes of various composition and stability …

This review considers the chemical and biotechnological synthesis of acids that are
obtained by direct oxidation of mono-or oligosaccharide, referred to as sugar acids. It …

Bagasse, a major by-product of sugarcane-processing industries, has potential to play a
significant role as feedstock for production of cellulosic ethanol, platform chemicals, and bio …

Molybdate ion uptake both by raw chitosan and by glutaraldehyde cross-linked chitosan
beads was investigated. This study focused on the identification of sorption mechanisms by …

Carbohydrate biosynthesis is fundamental to modern terrestrial biochemistry, but how this
collection of metabolic pathways originated remains an open question. Prebiotic sugar …

The low temperatures of polar regions and high-altitude environments, especially icy
habitats, present challenges for many microorganisms. Their ability to live under subfreezing …

Crystal structures of endopolygalacturonase from Stereum purpureum were solved in native
and two galacturonic acid complex states at atomic resolution. Endopolygalacturonase …

Spectroscopic Properties of Inorganic and Organometallic Compounds provides a unique
source of information on an important area of chemistry. Divided into sections mainly …

Three acidic polysaccharides (PPQA2, PPQA4 and PPQA5) were successfully purified from
the water-extracted crude polysaccharides of Panax quinquefolius by combination of DEAE …

myo-Inositol oxygenase (MIOX) catalyzes the ring-cleaving, four-electron oxidation of its
cyclohexan-(1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6-hexa)-ol substrate (myo-inositol, MI) to d-glucuronate (DG). The …
