Characterization of a Novel C-type Lectin against OsHV-1 infection in Scapharca broughtonii
Invertebrate Survival Journal, 2022 As important pattern recognition receptors (PRRs), most C-type lectins (CTLs) are a class of Ca2+-dependent carbohydrate-binding proteins that are found to be involved in non-self-recognition and antiviral process. In this study, a new CTL, named SbCTL,

Convergent and divergent mechanisms of sugar recognition across kingdoms [PDF]
, 2014 Protein modules that bind specific oligosaccharides are found across all kingdoms of life from single-celled organisms to man. Different, overlapping and evolving designations for sugar-binding domains in proteins can sometimes obscure common features ...

Stochastic Process Optimization of an Integrated Biorefinery [PDF]
arXiv, 2021 Planning of biorefinery operations is complicated by the stochastic nature of physical and chemical characteristics of biomass feedstock, such as, moisture level and carbohydrate content. Biomass characteristics affect the performance of the equipment which feed the reactor and the efficiency of the conversion process in a biorefinery.

dbCAN-seq: a database of carbohydrate-active enzyme (CAZyme) sequence and annotation [PDF]
Nucleic Acids Research, 2017 Carbohydrate-active enzyme (CAZymes) are not only the most important enzymes for bioenergy and agricultural industries, but also very important for human health, in that human gut microbiota encode hundreds of CAZyme genes in their genomes for degrading various dietary and host carbohydrates.
