Malignant transformation-linked imbalance: decreased xanthine oxidase activity in hepatomas.

abstract：:The conformation in solution of the biantennary complex type oligosaccharide unit derived from human serotransferrin has been investigated using 1H-1H Nuclear Overhauser Effect (NOE) measurements at 300 MHz. From quantitation of the NOE, the alpha(1-3) antenna is shown to exist in a preferred solution conformation wit...
