UDP-glucuronic acid is converted to UDP-galacturonic acid en route to a variety of sugar-containing metabolites. This reaction is performed by a NAD+-dependent epimerase belonging to the short-chain dehydrogenase/reductase family. We present several high-resolution crystal structures of
BACKGROUND
Pectic substances are the major polysaccharide components of the middle lamella and primary cell wall of dicotyledonous plants. They consist of homogalacturonan 'smooth' regions and highly rhamnified 'hairy' regions of rhamnogalacturonan. The backbone in rhamnogalacturonan-l (RG-l), which
In the present work, optimization of hot water extraction, structural characteristics, functional properties, and biological activities of polysaccharides extracted from watermelon rinds (WMRP) were investigated. The physicochemical characteristics and the monosaccharide composition of these
Solute receptors (binding proteins) are indispensable components of canonical ATP-binding cassette importers in prokaryotes. Here, we report on the characterization and crystal structures in the closed and open conformations of AcbH, the solute receptor of the putative carbohydrate transporter AcbFG
Concentrated soy protein isolate (SPI) - pectin blends acquire fibrous textures by shear-induced structuring while heating. The objective of this study was to determine the viscoelastic properties of concentrated SPI-pectin blends under similar conditions as during shear-induced structuring, and
OBJECTIVE
Streptococcus mutans, a gram-positive oral bacterium, has been identified as one of the principal etiological agents of human dental caries. To clarify the nature of the difference anti-biofilm effect against S. mutans between Assam tea from Camellia sinensis var. assamica, partially
