When mixed with water, n-octyl β-D-glucoside forms self-assembled nanostructures, several of which are liquid crystalline and all of which depend on the water/glucoside ratio and temperature. For practical use of these phases, a detailed understanding of the conditions under which

The manner of interaction of the coat peptide of the Pf3 phage (Pf3 peptide) with lipid bilayers has been extensively studied. Presently, we designed a derivative of the Pf3 peptide, referred to as the DDRK peptide, and subjected it to

Density functional theory calculations on two glycosides, namely, n-octyl-β-D-glucopyranoside (C(8)O-β-Glc) and n-octyl-β-D-galactopyranoside (C(8)O-β-Gal) were performed for geometry optimization at the B3LYP/6-31G level. Both molecules are stereoisomers (epimers) differing only in the orientation of the hydroxyl group at the C4 position.

The anomer selectivity of artificial carbohydrate receptors was studied using in silico methods in order to shed light on the thermodynamic driving forces at work during molecular recognition in general. The contributions of relevant intermolecular hydrogen bonds were investigated by

Octyl-β-D-glucopyranoside was synthesized by transglucosylation between p-nitrophenyl β-D-glucopyranoside (pNPG) and octanol as an acceptor using whole cells of thermo tolerant yeast Pichia etchellsii displaying cell wall bound β-glucosidase. Effect of several parameters such as glucosyl donor concentration, enzyme units and
