The exploitation of human glycans by Group A Streptococcus
Host carbohydrates, or glycans, have been implicated in the pathogenesis of many bacterial infections. Group A Streptococcus (GAS) is a Gram-positive bacterium that readily colonises the skin and oropharynx, and is a significant cause of mortality in ...

Uukuniemi Phlebovirus assembly and secretion leave a functional imprint on the Virion Glycome [PDF]
Uukuniemi virus (UUKV) is a model system for investigating the genus Phlebovirus of the Bunyaviridae. We report the UUKV glycome, revealing differential processing of the Gn and Gc virion glycoproteins.

Ion-Mobility Mass Spectrometry of Glycans and Glycopeptides Using Both Intact and Glycan Sequencing Approaches In Positive Ion Mode Facilitates Glycan Isomer and Glycan Motif Identification [PDF]
High resolution glycan analysis has become an important part of biopharmaceutical API production and quality control. Liquid chromatography (LC) is now a well-established technique in this field but the resolution of similar isomeric glycan structures is

Background Testicular cancer (TC) is the most frequent type of cancer among young men aged between 15 and 34 years. TC is treated using cisplatin, but 3%–5% of TC patients fail to respond to cisplatin, with a very bad to fatal prognosis.

Fluorescent Glycan Derivatives: Their Use for Natural Glycan Microarrays [PDF]
Glycan microarrays have become powerful tools in the investigation of biological systems because they enable fast, quantitative, and simultaneous analysis of glycan-protein interactions with small quantities of samples. One hurdle in the construction of glycan microarrays is to obtain a diverse set of glycans for immobilization on surfaces.

Investigating virus–glycan interactions using glycan microarrays [PDF]
While all viruses must transit the plasma membrane of mammalian cells to initiate infection, we know little about the complex processes involved in viral attachment, which commonly involve recognition of glycans by viral proteins. Glycan microarrays derived from both synthetic glycans and natural glycans isolated through shotgun glycomics approaches ...

Glycan Microarrays as Chemical Tools for Identifying Glycan Recognition by Immune Proteins
Glycans and glycan binding proteins (GBPs or lectins) are essential components in almost every aspect of immunology. Investigations of the interactions between glycans and GBPs have greatly advanced our understanding of the molecular basis of these ...

Identification of Isomeric N-glycans by Conformer Distribution Fingerprinting using Ion Mobility-Mass Spectrometry [PDF]
Glycans possess unparalleled structural complexity arising from chemically similar monosaccharide building blocks, configurations of anomeric linkages and different branching patterns, potentially giving rise to many isomers.

Approaching the secrets of N-glycosylation in Aspergillus fumigatus [PDF]
The mannosyltransferase Och1 is the key enzyme for synthesis of elaborated protein N-glycans in yeast. In filamentous fungi genes implicated in outer chain formation are present, but their function is unclear.
