The combination of a Wittig olefination and a dihydroxylation reaction constitutes a facile synthetic protocol for the transformation of unprotected carbohydrates into higher sugars. The Wittig reaction is carried out with tert-butyl or diphenylmethyl ester stabilized phosphoranes to give (E)-configured
We report the genome of the facultative intracellular parasite Rhodococcus equi, the only animal pathogen within the biotechnologically important actinobacterial genus Rhodococcus. The 5.0-Mb R. equi 103S genome is significantly smaller than those of environmental rhodococci. This is due to
The (L)-alpha-lyxopyranosyl-(4'-->3')-oligonucleotide system-a member of a pentopyranosyl oligonucleotide family containing a shortened backbone-is capable of cooperative base-pairing and of cross-pairing with DNA and RNA. In contrast, corresponding (D)-beta-ribopyransoyl-(4'-->3')-oligonucleotides do not show base-pairing under similar conditions. We conclude that oligonucleotide systems

Several 2-substituted alpha-D- and alpha-L-lyxofuranosyl and 5-deoxylyxofuranosyl derivatives of 5,6-dicholro-2-(isopropylamino)-1-(beta-L-ribofuranosyl) benzimidazole (1263W94) and 2,5,6-trichloro-1(beta-D-ribofuranosyl)benzimidazole (TCRB) were synthesized and evaluated for activity against two herpesviruses (HSV-1 and HCMV) and for their cytotoxicity against HFF and KB cells. Condensation of 1,2,3,5-tetra-O-acetyl-L-lyxofuranose (2a)
In this study the ability of various sugars and sugar alcohols to induce aldose reductase (xylose reductase) and xylitol dehydrogenase (xylulose reductase) activities in the yeast Candida tenuis was investigated. Both enzyme activities were induced when the organism was grown
