SIALIC ACID O-ACETYLATION PATTERNS AND GLYCOSIDIC LINKAGE TYPE DETERMINATION BY ION MOBILITY-MASS SPECTROMETRY

Sialic acid O-acetylation patterns and glycosidic linkage type determination by ion mobility-mass spectrometry

Abstract O-acetylation is a common modification of sialic acids that has been implicated in a multitude of biological and disease processes.A lack of analytical methods that can determine exact structures of sialic acid variants is a hurdle to determine roles of distinct O-acetylated sialosides.Here, we describe a drift tube ion mobility-mass spect

Utilization of maize cob biochar and rice husk charcoal as soil amendments for improving acid soil fertility and productivity

The decline in soil fertility in agricultural land is a major problem that causes a decrease in the production of food crops.One of the causes of the decline in soil fertility is declining soil pH that caused the decline in the availability of nutrients in the soil.This study aimed to assess the influence of alternative liming materials derived fro
