The importance of N-glycosylation on β3 integrin ligand binding and conformational regulation
Scientific Reports, 2017 N-glycosylations can regulate the adhesive function of integrins. Great variations in both the number and distribution of N-glycosylation sites are found in the 18 α and 8 β integrin subunits.

Comparisons of N-glycans across invertebrate phyla [PDF]
Parasitology, 2019 AbstractMany invertebrates are either parasites themselves or vectors involved in parasite transmission; thereby, the interactions of parasites with final or intermediate hosts are often mediated by glycans. Therefore, it is of interest to compare the glycan structures or motifs present across invertebrate species.

Structure analysis of biologically important prokaryotic glycopolymers [PDF]
, 2013 Of the many post-translational modifications organisms can undertake, glycosylation is the most prevalent and the most diverse. The research in this thesis focuses on the structural characterisation of glycosylation in two classes of glycopolymer (
