This essay is an introduction to a series of papers arising from a symposium on stabilization
of cells in the dry state. Nearly all of these investigations have utilized the sugar trehalose as …

Physico-chemical properties of the trehalose–water system are reviewed with special
reference to the transformations that may shed light on the mechanism of trehalose bio …

Glycostructures play a highly diverse and crucial role in a myriad of organisms and important
systems in biology, physiology, medicine, bioengineering and technology. Only in recent …

Egg yolk will undergo gelation when it is stored below− 6° C due to protein denaturation and
aggregation. In this study, the cryoprotective effects of sugar alcohols with various molecular …

This study aims to inhibit the gelation of frozen egg yolk stored at− 18° C for 180 d by
antigelation agent treatment prior to freezing. The synergistic effect of each treatment on the …

Some organisms can survive complete dehydration and/or high temperature in a state of
suspended animation called anydrobiosis, in which all metabolic processes are “switched …

The development of Karplus‐type formulas that relate the NMR coupling constants of
carbohydrates and related ma olecules to the dihedral angle between the coupled nuclei is …

An efficient NMR approach is described for determining the chemical structures of the
monosaccharide glucose and four disaccharides, namely, nigerose, gentiobiose, leucrose …

The 1H NMR chemical shifts, coupling constants, temperature coefficients, and exchange
rates have been measured for the hydroxy protons of aqueous solutions of α-, β-, and γ …

Moving rapidly from science fiction to science fact, cryopreservation is an integral part of
many research, development, and production processes in industry and academia. The …
