Characterization of a novel N-acetylneuraminic acid lyase favoring industrial N-acetylneuraminic acid synthesis process [PDF]
AbstractN-Acetylneuraminic acid lyase (NAL, E.C. number 4.1.3.3) is a Class I aldolase that catalyzes the reversible aldol cleavage of N-acetylneuraminic acid (Neu5Ac) from pyruvate and N-acetyl-D-mannosamine (ManNAc). Due to the high Neu5Ac cleavage activity in most isozyme forms, the enzyme catalyzes the rate-limiting step of two biocatalytic ...

Correction: Corrigendum: Characterization of a novel N-acetylneuraminic acid lyase favoring industrial N-acetylneuraminic acid synthesis process [PDF]
Scientific Reports 5: Article number: 09341; published online: 23 March 2015; updated: 28 April 2017 The original version of this article contained an error in testing the kinetic parameters of CgNal towards pyruvate, in which the concentration of ManNAc (50 mM) was not in excess.

Ferrets exclusively synthesize Neu5Ac and express naturally humanized influenza A virus receptors [PDF]
Mammals express the sialic acids N-acetylneuraminic acid (Neu5Ac) and N-glycolylneuraminic acid (Neu5Gc) on cell surfaces, where they act as receptors for pathogens, including influenza A virus (IAV). Neu5Gc is synthesized from Neu5Ac by the enzyme

Occurrence of a new hematoside in the kidney of guinea pig [PDF]
We have isolated a new hematoside from guinea pig kidney. Like the usual hematoside (II3NeuAc-LacCer), isolated from human erythrocytes, this new hematoside contained glucose, galactose, and N-acetylneuraminic acid in an equimolar proportion.
