Carbohydrate-aromatic interface and molecular architecture of lignocellulose

Nature Communications, 2022
Plant cell walls constitute the majority of lignocellulosic biomass and serve as a renewable resource of biomaterials and biofuel. Extensive interactions between polysaccharides and the aromatic polymer lignin make lignocellulose recalcitrant to ...

Identifying the origin of local flexibility in a carbohydrate polymer

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2021
Significance The monomer sequence dictates the structure and properties of natural polymers. Such a structure–property relationship is well known for polypeptides and polynucleotides but not for polysaccharides, the most abundant biopolymers on Earth ...

Systematic Hydrogen‐Bond Manipulations To Establish Polysaccharide Structure–Property Correlations [PDF]

, 2019
A dense hydrogen‐bond network is responsible for the mechanical and structural properties of polysaccharides. Random derivatization alters the properties of the bulk material by disrupting the hydrogen bonds, but obstructs detailed structure–function ...

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 ...

Grifonin-1: A Small HIV-1 Entry Inhibitor Derived from the Algal Lectin, Griffithsin [PDF]

, 2010
Background: Griffithsin, a 121-residue protein isolated from a red algal Griffithsia sp., binds high mannose N-linked glycans of virus surface glycoproteins with extremely high affinity, a property that allows it to prevent the entry of primary isolates
