Diisocyanates are used in the preparation of all polyurethanes, ranging from the foams used in shoe soles to the thermoplastics used in cell phone cases.

UC San Diego chemistry's Mike Burkart has found a bio-based method to manufacture polyurethanes used in everyday goods. This new method is a less toxic, environmentally friendly alternative to current ...

Certain glycans -- sugar-like compounds with carbohydrate chains -- containing galactose, may exhibit potential prebiotic properties that support human health. Identifying enzymes capable of breaking ...

Carbohydrate chains, also known as glycans, are intricate sugar-like molecules that are crucial for various biological functions and structures within human bodies.

Background and aims: Hypoglycemia is a typical, potentially life-threatening symptom in classical galactosemia with blood galactose considerably elevated (up to ∼100 mg/dl). Therefore we tested ...
