Pyrolysis of lignocellulose biomass to produce various fuels and chemicals has gained
increasing interest in recent decades. An in-depth understanding of the biomass pyrolysis …

Intramolecular catalysis (IntraCat) is the acceleration of a process at one site of a molecule
catalyzed by a functional group in the same molecule; an external agent such as a solvent …

Hemicelluloses are a major component of lignocellulosic biomass. Different sugars can be
obtained from hemicelluloses: xylose, arabinose, galactose, mannose, glucose. Their …

The purpose of this work is to prepare a novel acetylated derivative of Undaria pinnatifida
fucoidan (UPFUC) with admirable antitumor activity. Fucoidan was first acetylated by …

The Maillard reaction is one of the nonenzymatic post-translational modifications of proteins.
Products of this reaction are considered to be related to aging diseases and the sensation of …

Carbohydrate‐based benzylidene acetals undergo reductive ring opening. 1‐β‐O‐Acyl
glucoside conjugates of phenylacetic acids have been synthesized, and their acyl migration …

The mutarotation equilibrium, by which reducing carbohydrates exist in solution as the α and
β anomers of cyclic (furanoid and pyranoid) structures, along with open-chain (aldehyde and …

In dieser Arbeit wurden neue Glykosidhydrolasen aus überwiegend thermophilen
Organismen heterolog in E. coli exprimiert und mit verschiedenen Modellsubstraten auf …

This review reports our computational studies of a variety of topics related to conformational
analyses and intramolecular dynamic phenomena. Single and double bonds, open and ring …

Computational chemistry tools were used to explore the reaction mechanisms at play in
three different systems: pyrolysis reactions for monosaccharides, production of ketene from …
