A series of peracetylated O-aryl α,β-d-ribofuranosides have been synthesized and an efficient biocatalytic methodology has been developed for the separation of their anomers which was otherwise almost impossible by column chromatographic or other techniques. The incubation of 2,3,5-tri-O-acetyl-1-O-aryl-α,β-d-ribofuranoside with Lipozyme®
Maillard reaction products (MRPs) were prepared from aqueous ribose-lysine (RL) and fructose-lysine (FL) model systems at pH 9, heated at 60, 80 and 120 °C for 15, 60 and 120 min. Browning intensity (BI) and pH reduction were monitored throughout
Non-enzymatic glycation (NEG) and advanced glycation endproducts (AGEs) may contribute to bone fragility in various diseases, ageing, and other conditions by modifying bone collagen and causing degraded mechanical properties. In this study, we sought to further understand how collagen modification

Isotope labeling has revolutionized NMR studies of small nucleic acids, but to extend this technology to larger RNAs, site-specific labeling tools to expedite NMR structural and dynamics studies are required. Using enzymes from the pentose phosphate pathway, we coupled chemically

Poly-ADP-ribose metabolism plays a mayor role in a wide range of biological processes, such as maintenance of genomic stability, transcriptional regulation, energy metabolism and cell death. Poly-ADP-ribose polymerases (PARPs) are an ancient family of enzymes, as evidenced by the poly-ADP-ribosylating
