Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents the proceedings of the "Biwako Symposium on Glycolipids" which was held in Otsu, Japan, September 17-19, 1981, just before the 6th International Symposium on Glycoconjugates in Tokyo. The meeting was convened by Dr. Taro Hori in commemoration of the discovery of hematoside and globoside by Dr. Tamio Yamakawa in 1951. Glycolipid research beginning from the age of Thudichum, father of neurochemistry, developed rapidly in the third quarter of this century and is now extensive and interdisciplinary, having progressed to the isolation and chemical characterization of a great number of glycolipids, studies on catabolism and synthesis, biochemical elucidation of inherited sphingolipidoses, immunochemical characterization of various antigens, studies on membrane phenomena and cancer problems, and so on. These developments have been stimulated by both methodological advances (TLC, GLC, MS, NMR and cell cultures) and mutual interactions with many other fields of life science. Although glycolipids are relatively minor components of cells and tissues, and their functions depend essentially on their carbohydrate moiety like other glycoconjugates, they are unique in biochemistry and biophysics by way of their amphipatic properties. The purpose of the meeting was to bring together scientists involved in a wide variety of aspects of glycolipid biochemistry, and to promote further research. The proceedings also includes the very fruitful discussions at the meeting as well as some papers which were not presented at the meeting but dedicated to Dr. T. Yamakawa on the 60th anniversary of his birth. Regretfully, we cannot communicate the pleasant atmosphere of the "get-together" on the same boat on Lake Biwako, and other informal events during the convention.

This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 626 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume contains the proceedings of the symposium on "Ganglioside Structure, Function and Biomedical Potential" which was held at Parksville, Vancouver Island, B. C. , Canada on July 6-10, 1983. The symposium was organized ao a satellite to the ninth meeting of the International Society for Neurochemistry, held immediately afterward in Vancouver City, B. C. Close to 50 speakers from 9 countries presented papers on a wide range of topics on the ganglioside theme. These encompassed the many aspects of basic research that have evolved over the past half-century, as well as some newer topics relating to the biomedical potential of gangliosides as therapeutic agents. One of the purposes of the meeting was to encourage dialogue between investigators in these seemingly diverse areas in the hope that each would come away with fresh perspective toward his own work. Judging from the many spirited, informed discussions that took place throughout the four day meeting, this goal was achieved. The charm and beauty of Vancouver Island undoubtedly contributed to the congenial atmosphere which quickly developed among the 120 or so participants. Drawn from 13 countries of Europe (East and West), America (North and South), Asia and the Middle East, this gathering reflected the broad geographical scale on which ganglioside research is now conducted. That this field is still in its "logarithmic" stage of growth is indicated by the increasing number of citations appearing each year in the various abstracts (e. g. fig. next page).

Download or read book Lipid Biochemistry written by J.L. Harwood and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-04-17 with total page 411 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Lipids can usually be extracted easily from tissues by making use of their hydrophobic characteristics. However, such extractions yield a complex mixture of different lipid classes which have to be purified further for quantitative analysis. Moreover, the crude lipid extract will be contami nated by other hydrophobic molecules, e.g. by intrinsic membrane proteins. Of the various types of separation processes, thin layer and column chromatography are most useful for intact lipids. High performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) is also rapidly becoming more popular, especially for the fractionation of molecular species of a given lipid class. The most powerful tool for quantitation of the majority of lipids is gas liquid chromatography (GLC). The method is very sensitive and, if adapted with capillary columns, can provide information with regard to such subtle features as the position or configuration of substitutions along acyl chains. By coupling GLC or HPLC to a radioactivity detector, then the techniques are also very useful for metabolic measurements. Although research laboratories use generally sophisticated analytical methods such as GLC to analyse and quantify lipid samples, chemical derivatie:ations are often used in hospitals. For these methods, the lipid samples are derivatized to yield a product which can be measured simply and accurately-usually by colour. Thus, total triacylglycerol, cholesterol or phospholipid-phosphorus can be quantitated conveniently without bothering with the extra information of molecular species, etc. which might be determined by more thorough analyses.
