Methylglyoxal (MG) is a toxic metabolite known to accumulate in various cell types. We detected in vivo conversion of MG to acetol in MG-accumulating Escherichia coli cells by use of (1)H nuclear magnetic resonance ((1)H-NMR) spectroscopy. A search for homologs

The formation of acrylamide (AA) from L-asparagine was studied in Maillard model systems under pyrolysis conditions. While the early Maillard intermediate N-glucosylasparagine generated approximately 2.4 mmol/mol AA, the Amadori compound was a less efficient precursor (0.1 mmol/mol). Reaction with alpha-dicarbonyls

The diastereoselectively switchable enantioselective Mannich reaction of isatin imines with hydroxyacetone is reported. The chiral primary amino acid catalyzed this Mannich reaction to afford both anti- and syn-Mannich adducts in high yields, good diastereoselectivities, and enantioselectivities. The reason for the
Biosynthetically directed fractional (13)C labeling, a popular methodology of metabolic flux analysis, involves culture on a mixture of (13)C and (12)C substrates and preparation a 'metabolic flux analyte' (typically protein hydrolysate) from the biomass. Metabolic flux analytes prepared from complex
The presence of very reactive C1-C4 molecules adversely affects the quality bio-oils produced from the pyrolysis of lignocellulosic materials. In this paper a scheme to produce lipids with Cryptococcus curvatus from the carboxylic acids in the pyrolytic aqueous phase collected
