Abstract:SUMMARYA particulate enzyme fraction from type VIII Pneumococcus obtained by centrifugation of disrupted organisms between 30,000 and 140,OOOg synthesized a non-reducing disaccharide from uridine diphosphoglucose (UDPG). The structure proposed for the material synthesized is glucopyranosyl-glucopyranoside, in which at least one of the linkages is of the p configuration. The reaction may be formulated as: UDPG+UDPG+ glucopyranosyl-glucopyranoside. The reaction was not type-specific and was also found with parti… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
