Advances in Nutrition, 2014 Although carbohydrates represent one of the most important families of biomolecules, they remain under-studied in comparison to the other biomolecular families (peptides, nucleobases). Beyond their best-known function of energy source in living systems, they act as mediator of molecular recognition processes, carrying molecular information in the so ...

The carbohydrate-active enzyme database: functions and literature
Nucleic Acids Res., 2021 Thirty years have elapsed since the emergence of the classification of carbohydrate-active enzymes in sequence-based families that became the CAZy database over 20 years ago, freely available for browsing and download at www.cazy.org. In the era of large

Regulation of Primary Cilium Length by O-GlcNAc during Neuronal Development in a Human Neuron Model
Cells, 2023 The primary cilium plays critical roles in the homeostasis and development of neurons. Recent studies demonstrate that cilium length is regulated by the metabolic state of cells, as dictated by processes such as glucose flux and O-GlcNAcylation (OGN ...

Weak carbohydrate-carbohydrate interactions in membrane adhesion are fuzzy and generic [PDF]
Nanoscale, 2020, DOI: 10.1039/D0NR03696J, 2020 Carbohydrates such as the trisaccharide motif LeX are key constituents of cell surfaces. Despite intense research, the interactions between carbohydrates of apposing cells or membranes are not well understood. In this article, we investigate carbohydrate-carbohydrate interactions in membrane adhesion as well as in solution with extensive atomistic ...

Compartmentalization and transporter engineering strategies for terpenoid synthesis
Microbial Cell Factories, 2022 Microbial cell factories for terpenoid synthesis form a less expensive and more environment-friendly approach than chemical synthesis and extraction, and are thus being regarded as mainstream research recently.
