Bioengineering of bacterial polymer inclusions catalyzing the synthesis of N-acetylneuraminic acid [PDF]
N-Acetylneuraminic acid is produced by alkaline epimerization of N-acetylglucosamine to N-acetylmannosamine and then subsequent condensation with pyruvate catalyzed by free N-acetylneuraminic acid aldolase.

The sugar molecule N-glycolylneuraminic acid (Neu5Gc) is one of the most common sialic acids discovered in mammals. Cytidine monophospho-N-acetylneuraminic acid hydroxylase (CMAH) catalyses the conversion of N-acetylneuraminic acid (Neu5Ac) to Neu5Gc ...

Structural Insights into Substrate Specificity in Variants of N-Acetylneuraminic Acid Lyase Produced by Directed Evolution [PDF]
The substrate specificity of Escherichia coli N-acetylneuraminic acid lyase was previously switched from the natural condensation of pyruvate with N-acetylmannosamine, yielding N-acetylneuraminic acid, to the aldol condensation generating N ...

Characterization of gangliosides by direct inlet chemical ionization mass spectrometry.
Permethylated derivatives of N-acetylneuraminic acid-containing GM3, N-glycolylneuraminic acid-containing GM3, GD1a, and GD1b, were analyzed by direct inlet ammonia chemical ionization (CI) mass spectrometry.

Virus‐Mediated Self‐Assembly of Functional Cyclodextrins for Antiviral Inhibition
A sialic acid (SA)‐functionalized cyclodextrin (CD) self‐assembles on SARS‐CoV‐2 through ligand–receptor recognition, nucleating cooperative supramolecular polymer growth that blocks infection. The adaptive assembly requires both ligand binding and host–guest polymerization, remains active across variants, and can be tuned by coassembly, establishing ...

Interaction of a lectin from Psathyrella velutina mushroom with N-acetylneuraminic acid [PDF]
A lectin from the fruiting body of Psathyrella velutina has been used as a specific probe for non-reducing terminal N-acetylglucosamine residues. We reveal in this report that P.
