High-yield synthesis and crystal structure of 1,5,9,13-tetraazacyclohexadecane ([16]aneN4)
TL;DR: 1,5,9,13-tetraazacyclohexadecane (I) as discussed by the authors is a compound that was derived from x-ray diffraction data collected by counter-methods.

Biosynthesis of yeast mannan. Isolation of Kluyveromyces lactis mannan mutants and a study of the incorporation of N-acetyl-D-glucosamine into the polysaccharide side chains.
TL;DR: Protoplast particles from the mmnl mutants showed wild type N-acetylglucosamine transferase activity with exogenous acceptor, but they had no endogenous activity because the endogenous mannan lacked acceptor side chains.
34
The 6-O-Methylglucose-containing Lipopolysaccharides of Mycobacterium phlei: LOCATIONS OF THE NEUTRAL AND ACIDIC ACYL GROUPS
TL;DR: The nonrandom distribution of monobasic versus dibasic acids provides support for the concept that a defined placement of esters is in some way related to the biological function of the lipopolysaccharide.

Specific sequestering agents for the actinides. 1. N,N',N'',N'''-Tetra(2,3-dihydroxybenzoyl)tetraazacyclotetra- and -hexadecanes
TL;DR: In this paper, a new synthetic procedure is presented for the 2,3-dihydroxybenzamidation of azaalkanes, based on a biomimetic design concept for the preparation of selective actinide-ion sequestering agents.
Synthesis of aliphatic dimeric N-isopropylhydroxamic acids and the crystal and molecular structure of N,N'-dihydroxy-N,N'-diisopropylhexanediamide: a hydroxamic acid in the trans conformation
TL;DR: A series of dimeric N-isopropylhydroxamic acids, separated by (CH/sub 2/)/sub n/ units (n = 4,6,8, and 10), have been synthesized from the acid chlorides and N-ISOPropyl hydroxylamine as discussed by the authors.
