Sugar transport proteins (STPs) are high-affinity H-coupled hexose symporters. Recently, the contribution of STP13 to bacterial and fungal pathogen resistance across multiple plant species has garnered significant interest. Quantitative PCR analysis of source leaves, developing embryos, and seed coats of .

Background: Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is a hematological malignancy with a dismal prognosis. For over four decades, AML has primarily been treated by cytarabine combined with an anthracycline. Although a significant proportion of patients achieve remission with this regimen, roughly 40% of children and 70% of adults relapse.

This work aimed to modify blue crab chitosan-based films through the Maillard reaction (MR) as a novel alternative to improve their functional and biological properties. To this end, different saccharides (glucose (aldohexose), fructose (ketohexose), xylose (aldopentose) and arabinose (aldopentose)), at different weight ratios 0.5, 1.

Chiral and molecular recognition between amino acid and sugar molecules and their implications for chemical evolution were investigated using a tandem mass spectrometer equipped with an electrospray ionization source and a cold ion trap. Ultraviolet photodissociation of mass-selected and temperature-controlled gas-phase noncovalent complexes of protonated tryptophan (Trp) and monosaccharide enantiomers, such as aldohexose, aldopentose, and deoxyhexose, was examined as a model for chemical evolution in interstellar molecular clouds. Upon photoexcitation of noncovalent heterochiral H(L-Trp)(D-aldohexose) complexes, NHCHCOOH loss from protonated Trp via C-C bond cleavage occurred.

Aldopentoses, aldohexoses, or component aldoses from hydrolysis of polysaccharides or oligosaccharides react with cysteamine in pyridine to give quantitative formation of thiazolidines, which are subsequently peracetylated in a one-pot reaction. The nonpolar thiazolidines peracetate (TPA) derivatives are analyzed by gas chromatography and electron impact mass spectrometry (GC/EI-MS), each aldose giving rise to two TPA geometric isomers.
