Show abstract
An ultraviolet (UV)-absorbing compound of unknown identity is present in the aqueous humor of geese and other birds flying at high altitudes. A goose aqueous humor extract, that was believed to contain the UV protective compound which was designated as "compound X", was fractionated and examined using a variety of spectroscopic techniques including LC-MS and high field one- and two dimensional-NMR methods. A series of compounds were identified but none of them appeared to be the UV protective "compound X". It may be that the level of the UV protective compound in goose aqueous humor is much less than the compounds identified in our investigation, or it may have been degraded by the isolation and chromatographic purification protocols used in our investigations.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
