Rare sugars, naturally occurring monosaccharides found in minute quantities, have emerged as compounds of considerable interest in both nutritional science and metabolic research. Their unique ...

“The most important figure in the development of carbohydrate synthesis using enzymatic catalysis and a major contributor to glycobiology”—that’s the way chemistry professor George M. Whitesides of ...

A new technique for immobilizing and tagging biological carbohydrates could lead to a much more convenient way to analyze complex sugars than is currently possible. Protein and lipid glycosylation ...

An introductory biochemistry course covering the fundamental concepts of protein structure and function as well as metabolism of carbohydrates, lipids and amino acids. The focus will be on energy ...

With the background on the structure and metabolism of the carbohydrate-containing proteins presented in the first part of this review one can now consider the properties, both chemical and biologic, ...

Researchers at UT Southwestern Medical Center at Dallas are one step closer to understanding how high carbohydrate diets lead to obesity and diabetes. DALLAS – Oct. 18, 2004 – Researchers at UT ...

For at least 40 years, scientists who study how the body metabolizes sugar have accepted one point: there are four enzymes that kick-start the body's process of getting energy from food. The discovery ...

THIS excelent little book, a companion volume of “Recent Advances in Physiology,” which we have already noticed in these columns, gives an up-to-date account of our knowledge on certain selected ...

Dr. Peter H. Seeberger is the Director of the Max Planck Institute of Colloids and Interfaces in Berlin, a position he has held since 2009. He earned his Ph.D. in biochemistry from the University of ...
