    Heavy metal hydrolysis of polyisoprenoid-phosphate mono- and oligosaccarides

    Mono- and oligosaccharide derivatives of dolichol phosphate can be hydrolyzed by heavy metal, preferably Zn++ at 100°C or 65°C. The reactions follow first order kinetics. The reaction proceeds through hydrolysis ...

    Aluminum-triggered structural modifications and aggregation of β-amyloids

    We investigated the structural effects induced by Al3+ on different β-amyloid (Aβ) fragments at pH 7.4 and T= 25°C, with particular attention given to the sequences 1–40 and 1–42. Al3+ caused peptide enrichment i...
