Chemical, Enzymatic and Chemo-enzymatic Synthesis of Complex Oligosaccharides as Probes of Glycan Functions
DownloadSpring 2016
Carbohydrates, an essential class of biomolecules, mediate a variety of biological processes. Recent advances in chemical, enzymatic and chemo-enzymatic synthesis have facilitated access to an increasing number of structurally well-defined oligosaccharides. These molecules are serving as...

Subcritical Water Hydrolysis of Citrus Pectin, Pea Protein Concentrate, and Their Mixture for Oligosaccharide and Peptide Production
DownloadFall 2022
Bioactive oligosaccharides and peptides have drawn great attention due to reported health benefits such as antidiabetic, anti-obesity, anticancer, anti-hypertensive, and antioxidant. The most common methods to produce oligosaccharides and peptides are enzymatic and acid hydrolysis which have...

Spring 2014
Fluorous phase chemistry is an emerging field in terms of new separation techniques. A highly fluorinated compound tends to dissolve in a fluorinated solvent rather than in a common organic solvent. Fluorophilic solid phase separation (F-SPE) techniques are also well established. Our goal is to...
