Carbohydrate moieties of major histocompatibility complex class I alloantigens are not required for their recognition by T lymphocytes. [PDF]
The ability to generate specific cytotoxic responses using purified major histocompatibility complex (MHC) antigen in liposomes has made it possible to directly assess the importance of class I carbohydrate moieties in T cell recognition of alloantigen ...

Structural genomics analysis of uncharacterized protein families overrepresented in human gut bacteria identifies a novel glycoside hydrolase. [PDF]
BackgroundBacteroides spp. form a significant part of our gut microbiome and are well known for optimized metabolism of diverse polysaccharides. Initial analysis of the archetypal Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron genome identified 172 glycosyl hydrolases and

A novel enzymatic approach to nanocrystalline cellulose preparation [PDF]
In this work, conditions for an enzymatic pretreatment prior to NCC isolation from cotton linter were assessed. Different cellulase doses and reaction times were studied within an experimental design and NCC were obtained. At optimal enzymatic conditions

Carbohydrate-active Enzymes from Extremophiles
The term “extremophiles” is used for organisms that thrive under extreme conditions, and are designated the enzymes that are active and tolerant under extreme reaction conditions “extremozymes”. We have long been engaged in the screening, gene cloning, and industrial applications of alkaline enzymes from alkaliphilic bacilli.

Poplar Carbohydrate-Active Enzymes. Gene Identification and Expression Analyses [PDF]
Abstract Over 1,600 genes encoding carbohydrate-active enzymes (CAZymes) in the Populus trichocarpa (Torr. & Gray) genome were identified based on sequence homology, annotated, and grouped into families of glycosyltransferases, glycoside hydrolases, carbohydrate esterases, polysaccharide lyases, and expansins.
