Sialic acids are located at the termini of mammalian cell-surface glycostructures, which participate in essential interaction processes including adhesion of pathogens prior to infection and immunogenicity. Here we present the synthesis and bioorthogonal

Abnormal gangliosides in Tay-Sachs disease, Niemann-Pick's disease, and gargoylism
The molar ratios of N-acetyl neuraminic acid, hexose, hexosamine, and sphingosine have been determined for the abnormal ganglioside in Tay-Sachs disease that was previously detected as a fast-moving band in thin-layer chromatography, and in two abnormal ...

In vitro increased respiratory activity of selected oral bacteria may explain competitive and collaborative interactions in the oral microbiome [PDF]
Understanding the driving forces behind the shifts in the ecological balance of the oral microbiota will become essential for the future management and treatment of periodontitis. As the use of competitive approaches for modulating bacterial outgrowth is

Glycolyl-neuraminic Acid in Ox Brain Gangliosides [PDF]
IN this communication we report the presence of glycolyl-neuraminic acid in sialic acids from ox brain gangliosides. Our method of analysis consisted of the following six steps: (i) gangliosides were extracted from ox brain grey matter and purified according to a method which we have previously described1; (ii) gangliosides so obtained were hydrolysed ...

Insights into the evolution of sialic acid catabolism among bacteria [PDF]
Background Sialic acids comprise a family of nine-carbon amino sugars that are prevalent in mucus rich environments. Sialic acids from the human host are used by a number of pathogens as an energy source.

Carbohydrates of Bovine α-Lactalbumin Preparations
D-mannose, D-galactose, 2-acetamido-2-deoxy-D-galactose, 2-acetamido-2-deoxy-D-glucose and N-acetyl neuraminic acid have been identified in preparations of bovine a-lactalbumin.

Recognition of specific sialoglycan structures by oral streptococci impacts the severity of endocardial infection. [PDF]
Streptococcus gordonii and Streptococcus sanguinis are primary colonizers of the tooth surface. Although generally non-pathogenic in the oral environment, they are a frequent cause of infective endocarditis.

Mass spectrometry of neutral, mono- and disialoglycosphingolipids
Microgram quantities of complex glycosphingolipids were fully trimethylsilylated and analyzed by mass spectrometry. Reproducible ratios of the intensities of certain sugar fragment ions to the total intensity of ions characteristic of the sphingolipid ...
