Glycosylation isolation

A quantitative interpretation of aldonolactone inhibition in terms of an adaptation of the active site to a transition state approaching a planar, glycosyl oxocarbonium ion is made difficult for several reasons. Due to the interconversion between the 1,4- and 1,5-lactones, and their hydrolysis to the aldonic acids, their use is limited to kinetic studies with incubation times of 10 min or less. This was not realized by most investigators prior to 1970. In many cases, only the 1,4-lactone can be isolated its (partial) conversion into...

Four cyanidins with 4 -glucosidation were recently isolated in minor amounts from pigmented scales of red onion. Two were the only anthocyanins with B ring sugar substitutions and no glycosyl moieties in anthocyanidin position 3, whereas the other two were also glycosilated at the usual position 3. ...

PGE was isolated as desribed in Material and Methods. SDS-PAGE electrophoresis of purified protein showed a single band migrating at approximately 60 kDa. This observation is not in the agreement with the calculated molecular weight of 35 584. However a similar effect has been observed previously in case of PGI and PGC. Apart of the N-glycosylation which plays role in all PGs (Fig. 3), O-glycosylation may also be present as indicated by the band size shift after a treatment of PGE with O.IM NaOH (data not shown).
