Rapid Transmission and Divergence of Vancomycin-Resistant Enterococcus faecium Sequence Type 80, China [PDF]
We investigated genomic evolution of vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus faecium (VREF) during an outbreak in Shenzhen, China. Whole-genome sequencing revealed 2 sequence type 80 VREF subpopulations diverging through insertion sequence–mediated ...

Functional Residue Prediction by Multiple Sequence Alignment for Carbohydrate Binding Modules [PDF]
Multiple sequence alignment is often used to locate consensus sequence stretches with evolutionary and functional conservation. However, when sequence similarity among the queries becomes low, sequence alignment tools generate extremely diverse results.

Galectins: Their Network and Roles in Infection/Immunity/Tumor Growth Control 2021
Galectins constitute a protein family of soluble and non-glycosylated animal lectins that show a β-galactoside-binding activity via a conserved sequence of approximately 130–140 amino acids located in the carbohydrate recognition domain (CRD) [...]

Advancing Solutions to the Carbohydrate Sequencing Challenge [PDF]
Carbohydrates possess a variety of distinct features with stereochemistry playing a particularly important role in distinguishing their structure and function. Monosaccharide building blocks are defined by a high density of chiral centers. Additionally, the anomericity and regiochemistry of the glycosidic linkages carry important biological information.

Molecular Cloning and Characteristics of a Lectin from the Bivalve Glycymeris yessoensis
C-type lectins (CTLs) are a family of carbohydrate-binding proteins that mediate multiple biological events, including adhesion between cells, the turnover of serum glycoproteins, and innate immune system reactions to prospective invaders.
