Nontypeable Haemophilus influenzae (NTHi) is a Gram-negative bacterial pathogen that is adapted exclusively to human hosts. NTHi utilizes sialic acid from the host as a carbon source and as a terminal sugar on the outer membrane glycolipid ...

Chemoenzymatic Synthesis of Well‐Defined α(2,8)‐ and α(2,9)‐Linked Oligosialosides
Well‐defined α(2,8)‐ and α(2,9)‐linked oligosialic acids of different lengths can be prepared by employing recombinant bacterial polysialyltransferases in combination with chemically modified CMP‐Neu5Ac derivatives. After transfer, a sialoside is formed bearing an artificial entity, which blocks further glycosylation.

N-Acetylneuraminic acid attenuates hypercoagulation on high fat diet-induced hyperlipidemic rats
Background and objective: N-Acetylneuraminic acid (Neu5Ac), a type of sialic acid, has close links with cholesterol metabolism and is often used as a biomarker in evaluating the risk of cardiovascular diseases.

Visualization of sialidase activity in Mammalian tissues and cancer detection with a novel fluorescent sialidase substrate. [PDF]
Sialidase removes sialic acid from sialoglycoconjugates and plays crucial roles in many physiological and pathological processes. Various human cancers express an abnormally high level of the plasma membrane-associated sialidase isoform.Visualization of ...

Hydrolysis of BTP-Neu5Ac with bacterial sialidase.
A–D, Relative fluorescence intensities proportionally increased with increasing amounts of AUSA in 10 µM BTP2-Neu5Ac (A), BTP3-Neu5Ac (B) and BTP4-Neu5Ac (C) but not in 10 µM Res-Neu5Ac (D). Each bar and line represent the mean ± S.E.M. (n = 3).

A Water Soluble Pd2L4 Cage for Selective Binding of Neu5Ac
AbstractThe sialic acid N‐acetylneuraminic acid (Neu5Ac) and its derivatives are involved in many biological processes including cell‐cell recognition and infection by influenza. Molecules that can recognize Neu5Ac might thus be exploited to intervene in or monitor such events.

Multistep metabolic engineering of Pichia pastoris for biosynthesis of N‑acetylneuraminic acid
Free or protein-conjugated N-Acetylneuraminic acid (Neu5Ac) is widely distributed in organisms and possesses diverse biological functions, and for example lactoferrin with Neu5Ac-mediated sialylation exhibits significantly enhanced functional activity ...
