GlycoNMR: Dataset and benchmarks for NMR chemical shift prediction of carbohydrates with graph neural networks [PDF]
Molecular representation learning (MRL) is a powerful tool for bridging the gap between machine learning and chemical sciences, as it converts molecules into numerical representations while preserving their chemical features. These encoded representations serve as a foundation for various downstream biochemical studies, including property prediction ...

Effects of Altitudinal Gradient on Physicochemical and Rheological Potential of Quinoa Cultivars
The protein, carbohydrate, and fat characteristics of quinoa grains reflect in their techno-functional potential. This aspect has been little studied in quinoa, while some physicochemical and rheological characteristics have been generalized for all ...

Crystal structure of the GalNAc/Gal-specific agglutinin from the phytopathogenic ascomycete Sclerotinia sclerotiorum reveals novel adaptation of a beta-trefoil domain [PDF]
International audienceA lectin from the phytopathogenic ascomycete Sclerotinia sclerotiorum that shares only weak sequence similarity with characterized fungal lectins has recently been identified. S.

Lectins, and related receptors such as adhesins and toxins, are glycan-binding proteins from all origins that decipher the glycocode, i.e. the structural information encoded in the conformation of complex carbohydrates present on the surface of all cells.

The Ensemble of Conformations of Antifreeze Glycoproteins (AFGP8): A Study Using Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy. [PDF]
The primary sequence of antifreeze glycoproteins (AFGPs) is highly degenerate, consisting of multiple repeats of the same tripeptide, Ala-Ala-Thr*, in which Thr* is a glycosylated threonine with the disaccharide beta-d-galactosyl-(1,3)-alpha-N-acetyl-d ...

How effectively does the index of hydrogen deficiency in carbohydrates used in potassium nitrate propellant affect enthalpy change and its performance? [PDF]
This work looks at the relationship between the index of hydrogen deficiency (IHD) and the enthalpy of combustion of "sugar propellant," as well as the performance of carbohydrates with similar IHD values. The study used eight different carbohydrate sources as fuels in the propellant, combined with potassium nitrate as an oxidizer in a 35:65 ratio. The

A Kinetic Model for the Enzymatic Action of Cellulase [PDF]
We develop a mechanochemical model for the dynamics of cellulase, a two-domain enzyme connected by a peptide linker, as it extracts and hydrolyzes a cellulose polymer from a crystalline substrate.
