DEGRADATION DURING SYNTHESIS

Using HPW as a molecular tether to form highly stable crystal materials, Sarkar et al.220 prepared the palladium complex [Pd(pyca)(PPh3)(OTs)] (pyca = 2-picolinate) immobilised on zeolite NaY. From the 31P SS NMR data, it was concluded that the Pd complex is attached to the surface of zeolite by the HPW via some ionic interactions. Moreover, neither the support nor the molecular tether (HPW) undergoes any form of degradation during synthesis. This kind of material can be explored as a catalyst for acid-free carbonylation reaction. 

However, the progress of biodegradable dendritic compounds with suitable physicochemical and pharmacodynamic properties is challenging due to undesired and/or premature degradation during synthesis, purification, and subsequent functionalization and processing steps (van der Poll et al., 2010). In fact, these obstacles may explain the still reduced number of reports where biodegradable dendrimers are applied for a particular function in biomedicine (Leiro et al., 2015). 

Ribosomes remain attached to the ER during synthesis of signal peptide-containing proteins but are released and dissociated into their two types of subunits when the process is completed. The signal peptide is hydrolyzed by signal peptidase, located on the luminal side of the ER membrane (Figure 46-4), and then is apparently rapidly degraded by proteases. 

Increased protein synthesis The body cannot store protein in the same way that it maintains glycogen or triacylglycerol reserves. However, a transient increase in the synthesis of hepatic proteins does occur in the absorptive state, resulting in replacement of ary proteins that may have been degraded during the previous postabsorptive period (see Figure 24.3, ) ... 

Glycolipids are synthesized in the endoplasmic reticulum and Golgi. They are degraded in the lysosomes by hydrolytic enzymes that sequentially remove groups from the glycolipid in the reverse order from which they were added during synthesis ("last on, first off ).
