Besides providing nutrition to the newborn, milk also protects neonate and mammary gland against infection. As well as six major proteins, bovine contains minor not all of which have been characterized. In this study, we subjected skim milk, whey, fat globule membrane (MFGM) fractions both direct liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS), two-dimensional electrophoresis (2-DE) followed by matrix assisted laser desorption ionization-time-of-flight (MALDI-TOF) (MS) individual...
Thermal treatment of meat proteins induces a range observable and molecular-level changes. In order to understand track these heat-induced modifications at the amino acid level, various analytical techniques were used. Changes observed both in soluble insoluble fractions after hydrothermal minced beef samples. Redox proteomics clearly indicated increasing oxidative modification with increased heat exposure. Collagens fraction myosin found be highly susceptible such modifications. Maillard...
The phenol⋅N2 complex cation has been studied with a combination of two-color resonant zero kinetic energy (ZEKE) and mass analyzed threshold ionization (MATI) spectroscopies to probe the interaction polar quadrupolar solvent molecule. Extended vibrational progressions are observed in three modes which assigned as in-plane bend (35 cm−1), stretch (117 wag (130 cm−1) intermolecular vibrations, consistent structure where N2 forms directional bond phenol OH group plane aromatic ring. Ab initio...
[ Phenol⋅CO ] + was studied using a combination of two-color resonant zero kinetic energy (ZEKE) spectroscopy and mass analyzed threshold ionization (MATI) to investigate the interaction CO ligand with hydrogen-bonding cation. Vibrational progressions were observed in three intermolecular modes, in-plane bend (42 cm−1), stretch (130 wag (160 are consistent planar hydrogen-bonded structure where bonds through carbon atom phenol OH group. Dissociation energies for S0, S1, D0 states determined...
Mercury-containing intermediates have been isolated from the reaction of 6-deoxyhex-5-enopyranosyl compounds with mercury(II) salts in aqueous acetone. They react to give 2-deoxyinosose derivatives on further exposure conditions their formation or, after isolation, by treatment hydrogen sulphide. Mercury(II) acetate is more efficient than previously used chloride for this carbohydrate-into-deoxyinosose conversion.
The effects of insulin-like growth factors -I and -II (IGF-I -II) on the undifferentiated (fibroblast zone) cells from growing tip red deer velvet antlers 1.5 cm distal to (cartilage were investigated in primary cell culture. addition IGF-I or IGF-II medium cultures preincubated serum-free for 24 h increased rate [3H]thymidine uptake a dose-dependent manner both types, with maximal stimulation occurring when 1 nM-30 nM was added. incubation containing did not cause further increase either...
As the only known mammalian organ that can fully and annually regenerate, deer antler has significant advantages over lower-order animal models when investigating control of stem-cell-based regeneration. Antler regeneration is to be initiated maintained by neural-crest-derived stem cells in different states activation. therefore used as a model study proteins pathways involved maintenance cell niche their activation differentiation during formation. In this study, MSC markers CD73, CD90,...
We compare the results of ab initio calculations with measured reflection anisotropy spectra and show that strongly bound surface-state excitons occur on clean diamond (100) surface. These are found to have a binding energy close 1 eV, strongest ever observed at semiconductor Important electron-hole interaction effects line shape optical transitions above gap also found.
Removal of hydrogen bromide from mixed 1-O-acetyl-2,3,5,6-tetra-O-benzoyl-4-bromo-β-D-gluco- and galacto-furanose with 1,5-diazabicyclo[5.4.0]undec-5-ene gives the endocyclic 3-ene (2), whereas treatment a zinc–copper couple in aqueous acetic acid affords mixture 1-O-acetyl-2,5,6-tri-O-benzoyl-3-depxy-β-D-erythro-hex-3-enofuranose (4) exocyclic (E)- (Z)-5-deoxyhex-4-enofuranose isomers (3).
