Carbohydrates are the most abundant and one of the most important biomacromolecules in
Nature. Except for energy-related compounds, carbohydrates can be roughly divided into …

Ring opening polymerization (ROP) of lactams is a highly efficient and versatile method to
synthesize polyamides. Within the last ten years, significant advances in polymerization …

Monomers derived from glucose and galactose, which contain an endocyclic alkene (in the
sugar ring) and a terminal alkyne, underwent a cascade polymerization to prepare new …

Abstract β-Glucans are of significant interest due to their potent antitumor and
immunomodulatory activities. Nevertheless, the difficulty in purification, structural …

The extent of participation of side-chain functionalities during the 1, 5, 7-triazabicyclo [5.4. 0]
dec-5-ene (TBD) organobase-catalyzed ring-opening polymerizations (ROP) of six …

Fundamental studies that gain an understanding of the tunability of physical properties of
natural product-based polymers are vital for optimizing their performance in extensive …

α, ω-Unsaturated glycolipids derived from natural monosaccharides D-xylose and D-
mannose, and from a castor oil derivative, 10-undecenoic acid, were synthesised and …

Carbohydrates are the most prominent features of the cell's exterior—they are the cell's
“face” and serve as the cell's identification card. The features of cell surface glycans (eg …

This review is the tenth update of the original article published in 1999 on the application of
matrix‐assisted laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry (MALDI) mass spectrometry …

The alkaline‐earth metals Mg and Ca are too inert for the direct metalation of primary and
secondary amines. Consequently, activation prior to use is required. Alternatively, the …
