Large‐Scale Chemoenzymatic Synthesis of a Glycophorin A Tetrasaccharide Motif and Its Analogues
A large‐scale chemoenzymatic method was developed to synthesize natural and modified analogues of the Glycophorin A tetrasaccharide with either C9 or C5 terminal α‐2,3‐sialic acid variants. Selective α‐2,6‐sialylation of galactosamine was achieved by maintaining acetylation of the galactose during the course of enzymatic reactions. The products can aid

Influence of blood meal on the responsiveness of olfactory receptor neurons in antennal sensilla trichodea of the yellow fever mosquito, Aedes aegypti [PDF]
In female Aedes aegypti L. mosquitoes, a blood meal induces physiological and behavioral changes. Previous studies have shown that olfactory receptor neurons (ORNs) housed in grooved peg sensilla on the antennae of Ae.

The Design of the Mosquito and Its Dangers [PDF]
Mosquitoes (Family Culicidae) have been the scourge of mankind since the Fall. Although seemingly designed to inflict suffering and pain via rapid reproduction and formidable mouthparts, evidence mounts that this creature was not always the deadly vector

Delayed mortality effects cut the malaria transmission potential of insecticide resistant mosquitoes [PDF]
Malaria transmission has been substantially reduced across Africa through the distribution of long-lasting insecticidal nets (LLINs). However, the emergence of insecticide resistance within mosquito vectors risks jeopardizing the future efficacy of this ...
