Hyaluronic acid (HA), the main component of the glycosaminoglycans, is a linear biodegradable polymer with high molecular weight consisting of disaccharide units of N-acetylglucosamine and D-glucuronic acid, connected alternately by β 1-3 and 1-4 glycosidic bonds.
The binding between GM1 and ChT occurs when the oligosaccharide headgroup of GM1 penetrates into one of the five anchoring pockets of its beta subunit (ChTB) [ 17], a huge molecule with 11.6 kDa molecular weight, consisting in an annular pentameric ring whose external diameter and height are respectively 6 and 4 nm.
Consequently, the lamellar structure of heavily deformed polyethylenes of low molecular weight consisted of relatively small blocks, oriented with their normals approximately along FD, while high molecular weight species, in absence of intense lamellae fragmentation, developed the structure of relatively long lamellar crystals, oriented in a chevron-like structure.
The resultant copolymer with 1 gave relatively broad molecular weight distributions, consisting of high and low molecular weight copolymers.
Here, we describe the preparation of a direct molecular weight marker consisting of heme-tagged proteins, whose enzymatic activities make them detectable simultaneously with the antigen in peroxidase-based immunoblot systems.
In this study, novel star-like polymers (SLPs) with four-gradient molecular weight (Mw), consisting of nano-silica as the core and a layer of hydrophilic chains as the shell, were fabricated via mild water free-radical polymerization.
The particular polyaldehydes examined here are formed through the liquid-phase hydroformylation of a low molecular weight polybutadiene consisting of 12 wt% 1,2 and 88 wt% 1,4 cis/trans isomers using Wilkinson's homogeneous rhodium catalyst precursor with excess triphenylphosphine.
Bio-emulsifiers are higher molecular weight compounds consisting complex mixtures of heteropolysaccharides, lipopolysaccharides, lipoproteins and proteins (Perfumo et al. 2009).
Saponins are high molecular weight glycosides consisting of a sugar moiety linked to a triterpenoid or steroid aglycone.
Danaparoid sodium (DA) is a low molecular weight heparinoid consisting of heparan sulfate, dermatan sulfate and chondroitin sulfate that has both anticoagulant and anti-inflammatory effects.
Cytochrome c activates apoptotic signaling by binding to Apaf-1 which in turn forms (in the presence of dATP) high molecular weight complexes consisting of several molecules of Apaf-1, caspase-9 and caspase-3.
