A supported liquid membrane (SLM) containing a resorcinarene carrier has been used for the selective transport of erythritol, threitol, ribitol and xylitol from concentrated (1.0-0.01 M) aqueous solutions. The membrane is made of a microporous polytetrafluoro...

Differently protected erythro and threo furanoid glycals were synthesized by selenoxide elimination when phenyl 1-selenoglycosides were treated in oxidizing conditions (tBuOOH, Ti(O(i)Pr)(4), Et(2)(i)PrN). The phenyl 1-selenoglycosides were obtained from meth...

Dithiothreitol (DTT) is widely used to reduce disulfide bonds in the analysis of protein structure and function. However, thiol-disulfide exchange is not the only mechanism whereby DTT can alter protein function. We observe that DTT diminishes the carbohydrat...
