Bacterial alginate initially consists of 1-4-linked β-D-mannuronic acid residues (M) which can be later epimerized to α-L-guluronic acid (G). The family of AlgE mannuronan C-5-epimerases from Azotobacter vinelandii has been extensively studied, and three genes putatively encoding AlgE-type epimerases have

Since transmembrane sodium gradient is essential to many cell functions, there is continuing interest in methods that differentiate intracellular and extracellular Na+. In the kidney, shift reagent (SR) aided 23Na magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) has been successfully used only in
Lanthanide chelates have recently been shown to be extremely promising luminescence probes for distance measurements in biomolecules using luminescence resonance energy transfer measurements [P. R. Selvin, T. M. Rana, and J. E. Hearst (1994) J. Am. Chem. Soc. 116, 6029-6030;

The shift reagents thulium(III) 1,4,7,10-tetraazacyclododecane N,N',N",N"'tetramethylenephosphonate (TmDOTP5-), and dysprosium(III)triethylenetetramine-hexaacetate (DyTTHA3-) are compared in this work for their uses in sodium chemical shift imaging (NaCSI). In a series of experiments using phantoms we evaluated the relative contributions of bulk magnetic susceptibility
Frequency shift/concentration calibration curves applicable to the use of shift reagents (SRs) for in vivo 23Na MRS studies can be obtained from experiments with whole blood. Here, they are reported for titrations of rat blood with the SRs DyTTHA3- and
