Aniline Blue Fluorochrome for
callose and related (1-3)-beta-glucans An analytical probe for (1-3)-beta-D-glucans (callose). Highly specific for (1-3)-beta-glucans [Evans et al. (1984) Carbohyd. Polymers 4: 215-230; Stone et al. (1984) Protoplasma 122: 191-195]. May be used for the quantitative determination of callose [Kauss (1989) Plant Physiol. 81: 171-176] and in fluorescence assays for (1-3)-beta-glucan synthase products. Yariv Reagents for arabinogalactan-proteins
(AGPs) Specific probes for the detection of AGPs in tissue sections [Anderson et al. (1977) Aust J. Plant Physiol. 4: 143-158]. May be used to detect and quantify AGPs in tissue extracts [Van Holst & Clarke (1985) Anal Biochem. 148: 446-450] and to detect AGPs in crossed-electrophoretic separations [Van Holst & Clarke (1986) Plant Physiol. 80: 786-798]. Gum Arabic an arabinogalactan-protein Gum Arabic AGP is used as a reference standard in methods involving detection, quantification and analytical analyses of AGPs from plant tissues.
Monoclonal Antibodies (Murine) to (1-3)-beta-D-glucan No cross-reactivity with (1-4)-beta-D-glucans or (1-3;1-4)-beta-D-glucans [Meikle et al. (1991) Planta 188: 1-8]. to (1-3;1-4)-beta-D-glucan No cross-reactivity with (1-3)-beta-D-glucans [Meikle et al. (1994) The Plant Journal 5: 1-9]. to (1-4)-beta-D-mannan and galacto-(1-4)-beta-D-mannan Each of these antibodies can be used with second stage, gold- or fluorochrome-labelled rabbit, anti-mouse antibody for immunohistochemical studies.
(1-3;1-4)-beta-D-glucan Hydrolase from Bacillus subtilis (EC 3.2.1.73) Specifically hydrolyses beta-D-glucans containing both (1-3)- and (1-4)-beta-D-glucosidic linkages in linear sequences. Does not hydrolyse (1-4)-beta-D-glucans or (1-3)-beta-D-glucans [Anderson & Stone (1975) FEBS Letters 52: 202-207].
Pachyman [(1-3)-beta-D-glucan] ex Poria
cocus Useful as a positive control in fluoroescence microscopy studies on callose using the aniline blue fluorochrome or (1-3)-beta-D-glucan specific monoclonal antibody. Arabino-(1-4)-beta-D-xylan from
wheat flour A water-soluble polysaccharide from walls of wheat endosperm cells. Useful as a substrate for (1-4)-beta-D-xylan hydrolase. Uridine diphospho (13C6) glucose As a substrate for in vitro synthesis of glucans allowing rapid and detailed characterisation of the products using 13C NMR.
Chemistry and Biology of (1-3)-beta-glucans By Bruce A Stone and Adrienne E Clarke Glucans, with the (1-3)-beta-glucosidic linkage as a major feature, are present in most higher plants and many lower plants and microorganisms. They may occur as major structural or storage components or be formed at very specific sites in response to particular developmental events or stimuli. In many cases their functional role is a mystery, in others it is well established. Their distribution and physiological involvement indicates that they are important to fields such as agriculture and biotechnology, and may also have impact in medicine, throught their role in immunology and cancer therapy.

USD$91 plus postage and handling ................................................................................. Chemistry, Biochemistry, and Biology of (1-3)-beta-Glucans and Related Polysaccharides
Key Features:
Description: The book presents a comprehensive, systematic and authoritative survey of information about a family of chemically related, but functionally diverse, naturally occurring polysaccharides- the (1-3)-glucans. International contributors describe the chemical and physicochemical properties of these glucans and their derivatives and the molecular biological and structural aspects of the enzymes involved in their formation and breakdown. A detailed analysis of their physiological roles in the various biological situations in which they are found will be provided. Additionally, evolutionary relationships among the family of these glucans will be described. [For more information on this book, click here.]
