Then the molecule is grown step by step using a series of glycosylation reactions. After the polysaccharides reach the desired length, they are cleaved off the resin and purified. An automated ...

Enzymatic polymerization represents a green, highly selective methodology for the synthesis of polysaccharide materials. By utilising specific biocatalysts such as phosphorylases, researchers can ...

Using the device, Ye’s team created a polysaccharide composed of 1,080 ... but can also be applied to the streamlined synthesis of other organic molecules of interest,” the researchers write ...

Based on this foundation, the researchers elucidated the critical role of the polysaccharide-active enzyme gene library, ...

Professor Iwata Tadahisa et al. of the University of Tokyo have developed an innovative high performance bioplastics from various polysaccharides obtained from natural biomass or by enzymatic ...

Scholarly texts on cell division will tell you that apart from the synthesis of DNA, all other molecules in the cell, such as proteins, lipids, and polysaccharides, are produced at a more or less ...

"We hope this work will develop a wide variety of useful unnatural polysaccharide polymers to become part of a sustainable closed loop of synthesis from biomass with efficient recycling," Li ...

Structural and primary sequence alignment identifies a group of SDR proteins involved in polysaccharide synthesis that share the two salient features of CapE: the mobile loop (latch) and a distinctive ...

Decomposition of the simple sugars by chemical reaction generates cellular energy as well as initiating the synthesis of other constituents of a cell. The polysaccharides, or complex carbohydrates ...
