... The reduction of disulfide bonds in wool by tri-n-butylphosphine enhances the fluorescence. Subsequent S-alkylation also affects the fluorescence intensity and charge in the neighborhood of the chromophoric group. In acylation of wool, short-chain and bifunctional acylating agents exert a greater quenching effect on the fluorescence than do long-chain acylating agents. Esterification of wool is ac ...
... Rapeseed freeze-dried meal and water-soluble fraction were acylated with succinic and acetic anhydride and methylated with formaldehyde at different concentrations of these reagents, and changes in physic acid, phenols, glucosinolate content, and functional properties were determined. In general, the greater was the extent of acetylation, the lesser was the extractability of phytic acid, phenols, ...
... Elderberry anthocyanins (Sambucus nigra) including acylated derivatives (Sambucus canadensis) were studied for use as beverage pigments. Cyanidin 3-O-(6-O-E-p-coumaroyl-2-O-beta-D-xylopyranosyl) beta-D-glucopyranoside-5-O-beta-D-glucopyranoside from S. canadensis was more stable than cyanidin 3-sambubioside from S. nigra. Acylation improved both heat and light stability, whereas glycosidation only ...

Abstract:
... Regioselective acylation of glycoconjugates with malonic acid was achieved by using phenyl beta-D-glucopyranoside as a model glycoside, malonic acid, and tert-butyl isocyanide in aprotic solvents. Structural elucidation of phenyl 6'-O-malonyl-beta-D-glucopyranoside was performed by 1H and 13C NMR spectroscopy and high-performance liquid chromatography-atmospheric pressure chemical ionization-tande ...
... The pathway for the synthesis of sn-1,2-diacylglycerol stimulated by the action of adipokinetic hormone (AKH) in the insect fat body is unknown. Previous results from this laboratory suggested that the hydrolysis of stored triacylglycerol to sn-2-monoacylglycerol followed by the stereospecific acylation of sn-2-monoacylglycerol catalyzed by a monoacylglycerol-acyltransferase (MGAT) could be the ma ...
... The application of lipases to the synthesis of amino acid-based surfactants was investigated. Low yields (2-9%) were obtained in the acylation of free amino acids, such as l-serine and l-lysine, as well as their ethyl esters and amides with fatty acids, owing in part to low miscibility of the reactants. When the N-carbobenzyloxy (Cbz)-l-amino acids were used in an effort to improve miscibility of ...

... Chemoenzymatic approaches to the synthesis of two key chiral-precursors of a new azole antifungal agent, SCH 56592, are described. In particular, the enzymatic diastereoselective acylation of 2-benzyloxy-3-pentanol (7) was developed to produce (2S;3R)-7 in >97% diastereomeric excess (de) from otherwise unusable mixtures of (2S,3R)/(2S,3S)-7 (40-80% de). The selectivity and reactivity of commercial ...
... Rats were fed a diet supplemented with corn oil (n-3 deficient), soy oil, or a mixture containing 8% 22∶6n-3 ethyl ester for 6 wk. The hepatic capacities for the β-oxidation and synthesis of 22∶6n-3, in addition to the acylation of lysophosphatidate, were tested in vitro. In rats that were fed a 22∶6n-3-enriched diet, both the β-oxidation of 22∶6n-3 and elongation of 20∶5n-3 were enhanced compared ...

Abstract:
... By combining mild alkaline hydrolysis with quantitative 31P NMR we have been able to arrive at a protocol for determining the various ester linkages and their relative contributions to the overall structure of wheat straw lignin. Additional information on the identity and location of these bonds was sought by the application of GC/MS and two-dimensional 13C-1H heterocorrelation NMR experiments. Mi ...

Abstract:
... Efficient biochemical processes were developed for the synthesis of several chiral alcohol and acid intermediates of insecticides by a combination of strictly stereoselective hydrolytic enzyme-catalyzed reactions and subsequent chemical transformations with inversion or racemization of the chiral center of the undesired antipodes. The whole amounts of starting racemic mixtures are converted to des ...
... The synthesis, maturation and export of haemolysin by Escherichia coli are each remarkable mechanisms. Transcription of the hlyCABD operon is dependent upon a short 5â²operon polarity suppressor (ops) element and the NusGârelated RfaH protein, which inâvitro transcription studies show act together to determine a novel regulatory mechanism that suppresses transcription polarity. Other inâvit ...

Abstract:
... By modifying the derivatization followed by reductive cleavage (DFRC) procedure to be completely acetate-free, the presence and regiochemistry of natural acetates on lignins can be determined. Derivatization is conducted with propionyl bromide in propionic acid instead of acetyl bromide in acetic acid; reductive cleavage uses zinc in propionic acid instead of in acetic acid, and the final derivati ...
... Effects of the fatty acid positional distribution and of the triacylglycerol (TG) composition on polymerization of TG during heat treatment were studied. Diacid TG molecules, acylated only with linoleic acid or linolenic acid along with palmitic acid, and positioned either in the central position (PLP and PLnP, respectively) or in one of the two outer positions (PPL and PPLn, respectively) were sy ...
... Coniferyl p-coumarate (4-hydroxy-3-methoxycinnamyl 4-hydroxycinnamate) and sinapyl p-coumarate (3,5-dimethoxy-4-hydroxycinnamyl 4-hydroxycinnamate) were synthesized in high overall yield. In this improved method acetate was used as the phenol protecting group instead of 2,4-dinitrophenyl ether; selective deacetylation, without cinnamate ester hydrolysis, was accomplished with neat pyrrolidine. ...
... Detailed structural and functional studies over the last decade have led to current recognition of the mycobacterial lipoarabinomannan (LAM) as a phosphatidylinositol anchored lipoglycan with diverse biological activities. Fatty acylation has been demonstrated to be essential for LAM to maintain its functional integrity although the focus has largely been on the arabinan motifs and the terminal ca ...
... Sphingomyelins and ceramides bearing a docosahexaenoyl or arachidonoyl group were synthesized from sphingosylphosphorylcholine and sphingosine, respectively, by dicyclohexylcarbodiimide-mediated acylation. ...
... Several praziquantel derivatives have been prepared by the acylation of compound5, and examined on their biological activityin vitro against adultClonorchis sinensis collected from rabbits infected with metacercariae which was isolated fromPseudorasbora parva, a second intermediate host, captured in Nakdong river in Korea. ...
