Enhancing Ligand Epitope Mapping in Biomolecular Recognition by Variable Temperature Saturation Transfer Difference NMR (VT‐STD NMR)

open access: yesMagnetic Resonance in Chemistry, Volume 64, Issue 12, Page 1013-1019, December 2026.
The impact of temperature on the analysis of STD NMR ligand epitope mapping has been thoroughly investigated. For protein–ligand complexes under fast exchange kinetics, a negligible temperature effect is observed. For the intermediate exchange regime, VT‐STD NMR allows to obtain better discriminated epitope mappings, hence enabling the accurate ...

Cancer cells and viruses share common glycoepitopes: exciting opportunities toward combined treatments

open access: yesFrontiers in Immunology
Aberrant glycosylation patterns of glycoproteins and glycolipids have long been recognized as one the major hallmarks of cancer cells that has led to numerous glycoconjugate vaccine attempts.

Structure and mechanism of cancer-associated N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase-V

open access: yesNature Communications, 2018
The activity of glycosyltransferase GnT-V correlates with cancer malignancy and poor prognosis but its mechanism of action is poorly understood. Here, the authors solve crystal structures of free and substrate analog-bound GnT-V, providing insights into ...

Redefining CHI3L1: Therapeutic Opportunities at the Crossroads of Immune Suppression and Disease Progression

open access: yesMedicinal Research Reviews, Volume 46, Issue 6, Page 1897-1921, November 2026.
ABSTRACT Chitinase‐3‐like‐1 (CHI3L1, also known as YKL‐40) has been recognized as a biomarker of inflammation and tissue remodeling and has now emerged as a pseudoenzymatic immune checkpoint. Recent structural, immunological, and translational studies redefine it as an active regulator of immune suppression rather than a passive disease marker. Despite

Decoding the Role of Glycans in Malaria

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2017
Complications arising from malaria are a concern for public health authorities worldwide, since the annual caseload in humans usually exceeds millions. Of more than 160 species of Plasmodium, only 4 infect humans, with the most severe cases ascribed to ...

Global functions of O-glycosylation:promises and challenges in O-glycobiology

open access: yes, 2021
Mucin type O-glycosylation is one of the most diverse types of glycosylation, playing essential roles in tissue development and homeostasis. In complex organisms, O-GalNAc glycans comprise a substantial proportion of the glycocalyx, with defined ...

Structural glycobiology in the age of electron cryo-microscopy [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
The methodology underpinning the construction, refinement, validation and analysis of atomic models of glycoproteins and protein-carbohydrate complexes has received a long-overdue boost in the last five years.

Bacterial sialidases subvert the complement system through desialylation

open access: yesProtein Science, Volume 35, Issue 11, November 2026.
Abstract Bacterial sialidases (neuraminidases) are widely studied virulence factors, yet their impact on the complement system, a central component of innate immunity, remains poorly understood. Here, we investigate the effects of six sialidases from five human pathogens, including Bacteroides fragilis, Clostridium perfringens, Tannerella forsythia ...

The Acute Immune Response in Sheep Following Immunization with Toxoplasma gondii Tachyzoites or Parasite-Derived Glycoconjugates

open access: yesVeterinary Sciences
Toxoplasmosis is a relevant parasitic infection in sheep, with ovine meat an important source of human exposure. Accurate detection of the early immune response to Toxoplasma gondii is essential for preventing reproductive losses and improving diagnostic
