Marine Glycobiology: Current Status and Future Perspectives
Glycobiology, which is the study of the structure and function of carbohydrates and carbohydrate containing molecules, is fundamental to all biological systems. Progress in glycobiology has shed light on a range of complex biological processes associated

Yeast Mnn9 is both a priming glycosyltransferase and an allosteric activator of mannan biosynthesis [PDF]
Open Biology, 2013 The fungal cell possesses an essential carbohydrate cell wall. The outer layer, mannan, is formed by mannoproteins carrying highly mannosylated O- and N-linked glycans. Yeast mannan biosynthesis is initiated by a Golgi-located complex (M-Pol I) of two GT-

Using graph convolutional neural networks to learn a representation for glycans
Cell Reports, 2021 Summary: As the only nonlinear and the most diverse biological sequence, glycans offer substantial challenges for computational biology. These carbohydrates participate in nearly all biological processes—from protein folding to viral cell entry—yet are ...

An interactive and integrative view of glycobiology
, 2018 Glycosylation is one of the most abundant post-translational modifications (PTM) and the primary cause of microheterogeneity in proteins (glycoforms). It consists of the addition of a sugar moiety on the surface of a protein, and it has been suggested ...

A Review of Sex Differences: Glycobiology and Immunology [PDF]
, 2021 The biological differences between males and females are significant yet too often overlooked. In research and clinical studies, sex differences are often not taken into consideration. However, glycobiology and immunology are starting to shift.
