The Effects of a Hypocaloric Diet Enriched in Oleic Acid Using Almonds Versus Complex Carbohydrates on Metabolic and Anthropometric Parameters During Weight Reduction
… almonds rich in oleic acid as an alternative to complex carbohydrates on metabolic and anthropometric parameters during weight reduction and to evaluate self-reported satiety and satisfaction. A convenience sample of 57 adults was recruited from the Diabetes and Cardiovascular Risk Reduction …

New Methodology for Alpha-Sialyl Glycoside Synthesis
… C2-hemiketals as a new class of sialyl donor for complex carbohydrate synthesis. Efforts to apply these new strategies to the synthesis of the trisaccharide portion of ganglioside GM3 are also discussed.

Functional properties of galectin-3. Beyond the sugar binding.
… that galectin-3 does not require the functional carbohydrate recognition domain (CRD) for its endocytosis. In the second paper we used M2 macrophages to study how galectin-1 directs the endocytosis of hemoglobin-haptoglobin complex. Our results indicated that galectin-1 bound fraction of the …

An exploration of phosphorylases for the synthesis of carbohydrate polymers
… and their use in the in vitro synthesis of carbohydrates. The disaccharide phosphorylases have attracted attention because of their strict stereo- and regiospecificity and their tractability. The polymerising phosphorylases have received less attention due to heterogeneous product formation, …

LARGE-SCALE METAGENOMIC ANALYSIS TO IDENTIFY HUMAN GUT MICROBIOME BIOMARKERS OF CARDIOMETABOLIC HEALTH
The human gut microbiome, a complex community of microorganisms inhabiting the human gastrointestinal tract, is recognized as a critical modulator of host physiology. Imbalances in its composition have been linked with a range of human diseases, including cardiometabolic disorders. Diet is both a …

Development of coupled enzyme assay and in vitro synthetic biology approach for glycosylation pathway characterization
… interactome is challenging because of the complexity of glycan structures and the diversity of GTs acting on them. Two tool sets that can advance our understanding is the development of reliable kinetic assays and constructing biologically relevant substrate arrays. Presently used assays …

Implementing Solvothermally Synthesized Carbon Nanodots into Dye-Sensitized Solar Cells to Enhance External Quantum Efficiency in the Ultraviolet
… CNDs, derived from a fully hydrothermal reflux carbohydrate conversion of D-glucose, both before and after filtration via 20kDa molecular weight cutoff (MWCO) dialysis in water. Synthesis of these CNDs, from the bottom-up hydrothermal method, follows a complex carbohydrate chemistry with …

The association of prematurity and medical conditions with the gut microbiome of mammals
… with either branched-chain amino acids or a complex carbohydrate, maltodextrin. My results indicated that, combining data from term and preterm lambs, the anatomical site explained 54% (q-value=0.0004) of the variance in microbial beta diversity but that there was no significant effect of …

Cranberry metabolites with urinary anti-adhesion activity
… or inactive fractions were found to contain complex mixtures of oligosaccharides but not PACs. An octasaccharide, consisting of a tetrameric, β-(1→4)-linked D-glucose backbone and possessing two D-xylose-L-arabinose side chains, was purified from the oligosaccharide mixture of active urine …

Studies of genera cytophaga-flavobacterium in context of the soil carbon cycle
… of hydrolytic enzymes that can degrade complex carbohydrates. The first studies in this dissertation were intended to investigate the phylogenic diversity and distribution of CF in soil. CF specific clone libraries were generated to investigate a possible link between the CF and soils …

Plasmid deoxyribonucleic acid of strains of the saccharolytic intestinal Bacteroides
… for standard phenotypic properties (variety of carbohydrates fermented, metabolic end products, and complex carbohydrate hydrolysis). Additional phenotypic characterizations included bacteriocin production, cell wall analysis, and antibiotic susceptibilities. The interrelatedness of the strains …

In vitro selection of deoxyribozymes for O-glycoside cleavage and for 3-nitrotyrosine modification
Proteins and RNA are biopolymers that form complex secondary and tertiary structures and perform catalysis in nature. Single-stranded DNA is structurally similar to RNA and is also capable of catalytic function. DNA enzymes, or deoxyribozymes, are not known to exist in nature, but they have been …
