Estimation of Chronological Age from the Racemization Rate of l- and d-Aspartic Acid: How to Completely Separate Enantiomers from Dentin

of technique. In general, living organs are composed of l -form amino acids. Conversion from l -form to d -form amino acids is a first-order chemical reaction. Thus, the quantity of d -form amino acids in an organ is proportional to the passed time (age

Preparation of the Syntex Adjuvant Formulation (SAF, SAF-m, and SAF-1)

The Syntex adjuvant formulation (SAF) is an effective adjuvant composed of a muramyl dipeptide derivative (threonyl-MDP) in an oil-in-water (o/w) emulsion vehicle. Threonyl-MDP (N-acetyl muramyl-L-threonyl-D-isoglutamine) was identified

古洛糖酸 gulonic acid

醛酸的一种，L型相当于 L-古洛糖一位上的醛基被羧基置换的形态，或 D-葡糖醛酸的一位醛基变成醇基。在大多数动植物中，以古洛糖酸γ -内酯形态存在。古洛糖酸可由特异的氧化酶脱氢反应而变成维生素 C（ L-抗坏血酸）。因为人、猿、豚鼠中不具有这种酶，所以必须从外界摄取维生素 C。另一方面，则存在着 L-古洛糖酸→ 3-酮 -L-古洛糖酸→ L-木酮糖→ L-木糖醇→ D-木酮糖的代谢途径，代表性的戊糖尿症，可在尿中发现古洛糖酸的代谢中间物质 L-木酮糖。
