Acid-catalyzed mechanocatalytic pretreatment to improve sugar release from birch sawdust: Structural and chemical aspects

2022

Abstract This study examined acid-catalyzed mechanocatalytic pretreatment of birch sawdust without a separate impregnation step. Catalyst amount and pretreatment time were the key variables. Pretreated material was mixed with water for hydrolysis (100 °C, 60 min). The efficient release of total reducing sugars from birch sawdust is significant to the path towards biofuels and biochemicals. Based on the results, the structure and surface of birch sawdust changed as a function of mechanocatalytic pretreatment. Milling time caused significant transformations in birch structure and also increased the yields of reducing sugars. The highest yield of total reducing sugar from pretreated sawdust wa…

Novel acrylamido monomers with higher hydrophilicity and improved hydrolytic stability: II. Properties of N-acryloylaminopropanol

1996

The physico-chemical properties and the electrophoretic behavior of the novel set of monomers reported by (Simo-Alfonso et al., Electrophoresis 1996, 17, 723-731) have been evaluated. Of utmost importance was the combination of high hydrophilicity and extreme hydrolytic stability, most desired properties for, any electrophoretic matrix, especially for protein fractionation. One of these monomers (N-acryloylaminopropanol, AAP) was found indeed to be extremely hydrophilic (with a partition coefficient P of only 0.10, vs. P = 0.13 for N-acryloylaminoethoxyethanol and P = 0.20 for acrylamide) and to possess excellent stability to alkaline hydrolysis. Its hydrolysis constant (0.008 L mol-1 min-1…

Utilization of enzymatic detergents to clean inorganic membranes fouled by whey proteins

2005

In this work inorganic membranes used for whey protein fractionation were cleaned with enzymatic detergents. The inorganic membrane Carbosep ® M1 (Orelis S.A., France), of 150 kg/mol molecular weight cut-off and ZrO2 filtering layer, was used and the commercial detergent P3-Ultrasil ® 62 (Henkel IbS.A., Spain) was selected for the cleaning. Hydraulic and chemical methods were considered to characterize the membrane cleanliness. Cleaning efficiency was observed to be a function of the operating conditions: recycling versus non-recycling of permeate, cleaning solution pH, enzymatic agent concentration and cleaning time. The optimum conditions to perform the cleaning were related to the optimu…

Eine einfache Darstellung von 8-Azidoadenosin-5′-triphosphat; ein Agens zur Photoaffinitätsmarkierung von ATP-bindenden Proteinen

1978

Eine vereinfachte Synthese von 8-Azido-ATP (3) wird beschrieben. Die neue Methode ist kurzer und fuhrt zu wesentlich besseren Ausbeuten als die bekannte Methode. Neben 3 entstehen dabei 8-Azido-ADP und 8-Azido-AMP. Es wurden mit einem Reaktionsansatz alle drei 8-Azidonucleotide gleichzeitig erhalten. 8-Azido-ATP (3) wurde durch Elementaranalyse, Dunnschichtchromatographie, Infrarotspektroskopie und UV-Absorptionsspektroskopie charakterisiert. Die Photolyse bei verschiedenen pH-Werten wurde untersucht. Durch F1ATPase wird 3 umgesetzt.

ChemInform Abstract: A Simple and Efficient Route to 1,4-Diketones from Squaric Acid.

2010

Abstract Squaric acid derivatives react with organolithium compounds at room temperature to afford with excellent yields after hydrolysis, symmetrical and unsymmetrically substituted oxygenated 1,4 diketones bearing alkyl, aryl or heteroaryl groups at the carbonyl positions. In the case of aromatic or heteroaromatic ketones the enol tautomers are also obtained.

Amino Acid Contents of Infant Formulas

1999

Abstract The amino acid supply in an infant's first month of life must be sufficient in quantity and quality to fulfil the needs of this period of life. Guidelines, recommendations and minimum and maximum values have been established regarding to amino acid composition of infant formulas. The aim of this study was to determine the amino acid profile of infant formulas of different types marketed in Spain in order to assess the compliance with the recommendations (ESPGAN) and to detect possible differences in the amino acid profiles depending on the protein source. Amino acids were determined by HPLC in ion-pair reversed phase after hydrolysis and derivatization with phenylisothiocyanate. Ne…

New molecular catalysts for ATP cleavage. Criteria of size complementarity

2000

The interaction of the cyclophane receptor 2,5,8,11,14,17-hexaaza[18]metacyclophane (L) with the nucleotides ATP, ADP and AMP is described. L yields one of the largest rate enhancements for hydrolytic ATP cleavage observed in macrocyclic polyamines. The process is specific for the formation of ADP and involves a high degree of geometrical complementarity between host and guest species. The analogue compound 24-hydroxy-2,5,8,11,14,17-hexaaza[18]metacyclophane (L11) shows also a high degree of ATP activation. However, in this case deprotonation of the hydroxy group results in almost complete quenching of the ATPase activity above pH 7.0.

Der Phenylacetyl-(PhAc-)Rest als enzymatisch ablösbare Schutzgruppe für Peptide und Kohlenhydrate: Selektive Schutzgruppenabspaltungen mit Penicillin…

1988

N-Phenylacetyl-(PhAc-)-aminosauren werden mit Aminosauremethyl-, -benzyl-, -allyl- und -tert-butylestern mit Hilfe des modifizierten Carbodiimidverfahrens oder unter Verwendung von EEDQ in guten Ausbeuten zu vollgeschutzten Dipeptiden verknupft. Der PhAc-Rest ist bei den Abspaltungen der C-terminalen Schutzgruppen stabil, kann jedoch aus den Peptiden unter nahezu neutralen Bedingungen selektiv mit Penicillin-Acylase (EC 3.5.1.11) abgelost werden. Das Enzym hydrolysiert den PhAc-Rest auch aus der 2-Position von acetylgeschutzter Glucose, der 3-Position von Di-O-isopropylidenglucose und der primaren OH-Gruppe von Di-O-isopropyliden-L-sorbose. Bei den enzymatischen Abspaltungsreaktionen bleibe…

Nucleophilic substitutions in the isoindole series as a valuable tool to synthesize derivatives with antitumor activity

2011

Abstract A novel synthetic approach to the synthesis of 3-substituted isoindoles through nucleophilic substitution of 3-halo derivatives by charged carbon, and neutral nitrogen, oxygen, and sulfur nucleophiles, assisted by a 1-acyl group, is reported. Aryl-thio-isoindoles, obtained through a direct nucleophilic substitution with sulfur nucleophiles, showed cytotoxic activity, with GI50 values from micromolar to sub-micromolar concentrations, against the total number of cell lines investigated.
