N-Glycan structures and N-glycosylation sites of mouse soluble intercellular adhesion molecule-1 revealed by MALDI-TOF and FTICR mass spectrometry [PDF]
Intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) is a heavily N‐glycosylated transmembrane protein comprising five extracellular Ig-like domains. The soluble isoform of ICAM-1 (sICAM-1), consisting of its extracellular part, is elevated in the cerebrospinal ...

Preparative Synthesis of dTDP-L-Rhamnose Through Combined Enzymatic Pathways
dTDP-L-rhamnose, an important precursor of O-antigen, was prepared on a large scale from dTMP by executing an one-pot reaction in which six enzymes are involved. Two enzymes, dTDP-4-keto-6-deoxy-D-glucose 3,5-epimerase and dTDP-4-keto-rhamnose reductase,

A Correlation between Protein Function and Ligand Binding Profiles [PDF]
We report that proteins with the same function bind the same set of small molecules from a standardized chemical library. This observation led to a quantifiable and rapidly adaptable method for protein functional analysis using experimentally-derived ...

Observational Study on the Distribution of Cat Blood Groups in a Non-Pedigree Population in Luanda, Angola [PDF]
Post-transfusion reactions can occur in animals because they present alloantibodies that do not require prior sensitization. Therefore, blood typing is necessary to reduce the risk of hemolytic reactions, but so far, no studies have been carried out to ...

Purification and characterization of GlcNAc-6-P 2-epimerase from Escherichia coli K92 [PDF]
[EN]N-Acetylmannosamine (ManNAc) is the first committed intermediate in sialic acid metabolism. Thus, the mechanisms that control intracellular ManNAc levels are important regulators of sialic acid production.
