Carlos Eugenio Cardini Bellati, Argentine biochemist (Buenos Aires 09 December 1911 - 1991) From
Italian grandparents With R. Caputto, L.F. Leloir and A. Paladini discovered
sugar nucleotides, determined its chemical nature and showed that play a key
role in sugar interconversion and polysaccharides synthesis (1948) With L.F. Leloir established that in plant tissues two
reactions can lead to synthesis of sucrose (1953-5) With L.F. Leloir suggested the
involvement of uridine diphosphate N-acetylglucosamine in chitin synthesis
(1953) With L.F. Leloir and J. Chiriboga synthesized
sucrose (1955) With L.F. Leloir described an alternative mechanism for synthesis of glycogen from UDP-glucose and glycogen synthase (1957) With Yamaha & Leloir demonstrated that glycosides
synthesis via UDPG (1960) With Fekete & Leloir discovered enzymatic system
that catalyzes sucrose transformation into starch (1960) With Rosalía B. de Frydman & Luis F. Leloir demonstrated
that phytoglycogen biosynthesis from ADP-glucose (1965) With R.E. Trucco. A new phosphoric esther of glucose and its function as a coenzyme. Cien. Invest. 4(10):433-5, 1948 METHODS/TECHNIQUES With Cabib and Leloir suggested the use of
sodium chloride in dilute hydrochloric acid for eluting nucleotides from a
column of ion-exchange resin and introduced the technique of purifying
nucleotides with Norite Developed a new procedure for determination of choline With A.D. Marenzi. The colorimetric
determination of choline. J. Biol. Chem. 147:363, 1943 A procedure for preparation of β-α-nitrosonaphthol and an assay for cobalt With W. Jung & M. Fuksman. El β-α-nitrosonaftol
