Acid hydrolysis of cell wall-rich material from young leaves of the lycophyte Selaginella apoda (L.) Spring yielded substantial amounts of 3-O-methyl-D-galactose (1) in addition to the usual major monosaccharides (glucose, galactose, arabinose, xylose and galacturonic acid). The yield of 1

A new theoretical method for free energy calculations is used to compute the absolute binding constants for beta-D-glucose and methyl-beta-D-galactoside to the periplasmic glucose/galactose receptor from Salmonella typhimurium. The computer simulation results agree well with available experimental data and make
