author keywords: residual lignin; kraft lignin; kraft pulping; NMR; 2D HMQC technique; lignin-carbohydrate complex; condensation reactions; lignin degradation products
MeSH headings : Carbohydrate Conformation; Carbohydrates / analysis; Industry; Lignin / chemistry; Lignin / isolation & purification; Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy / methods; Molecular Structure; Pinus / chemistry; Wood
TL;DR: Elucidation of the role of condensation reactions indicates that an increase in the degree of lignin condensation during pulping results from accumulation of original condensed lign in moieties rather than from the formation of new alkyl-aryl structures. (via Semantic Scholar)

Reaction mechanisms in delignification of pine Kraft-AQ pulp with hydrogen peroxide using Mn(IV)-Me4DTNE as catalyst

JOURNAL OF AGRICULTURAL AND FOOD CHEMISTRY, 51(7), 1932–1941.

By: C. Chen n, E. Capanema n & H. Gracz n

author keywords: pine Kraft-AQ pulp; binucleus Mn(IV) complex; hydrogen peroxide bleaching; catalysis; residual lignins; alkaline soluble lignin; 2D HMQC NMR spectroscopic technique; epoxidation of conjugated double bonds
MeSH headings : Hydrogen Peroxide / chemistry; Lignin / analysis; Lignin / chemistry; Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy; Organometallic Compounds / chemistry; Wood
TL;DR: The results showed that biphenyl (5-5) and stilbene structures are preferentially degraded in the bleaching process, while beta-O-4, beta-5, and beta-beta structures undergo degradation only to a lesser extent, which implies that hydrogen peroxide bleaching using the catalyst is more effective in delignification of softwood pulps than hard wood pulps.

C-13-NMR study of hypoglycemia-induced glycolytic changes in embryonic mouse heart

TERATOLOGY, 66(5), 267–272.

By: G. Ghatnekar n, H. Gracz n & I. Smoak n

MeSH headings : Animals; Carbon Isotopes; Culture Media; Glucose / metabolism; Glycolysis / physiology; Heart / embryology; Hypoglycemia / embryology; Hypoglycemia / metabolism; Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy; Mice; Mice, Inbred Strains; Myocardium / metabolism; Organ Culture Techniques
TL;DR: NMR effectively measures glucose and its metabolite, lactate, in the same spectrum and thus determines metabolic flux in the isolated embryonic heart after exposure to hypoglycemia and normoglycemic media, suggesting that 13C-NMR spectroscopy can be used to study glucose metabolism in isolated embryonic hearts exposed to hyp glucosecemia.
