Glycomic analysis of high density lipoprotein shows a highly sialylated particle. [PDF]
Many of the functional proteins and lipids in high density lipoprotein (HDL) particles are potentially glycosylated, yet very little is known about the glycoconjugates of HDL.

Post-Glycosylation Modification of Sialic Acid and Its Role in Virus Pathogenesis
Sialic acids are a family of nine carbon keto-aldononulosonic acids presented at the terminal ends of glycans on cellular membranes. α-Linked sialoglycoconjugates often undergo post-glycosylation modifications, among which O-acetylation of N-acetyl ...

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 ...

Glycosylated proteins preserved over millennia: N-glycan analysis of Tyrolean Iceman, Scythian Princess and Warrior. [PDF]
An improved understanding of glycosylation will provide new insights into many biological processes. In the analysis of oligosaccharides from biological samples, a strict regime is typically followed to ensure sample integrity.

Label-Free and Microplate-Based Dissection of Glycan-Virus Interactions Using Polymer-Tethered Glyconanoparticles. [PDF]
This work demonstrates the use of polymer‐tethered glycosylated gold nanoparticles for the label‐free evaluation of influenza virus binding in a simple microplate. Sialylated linear and branched glycans are integrated using a modular capture and assembly process. The microplate‐based assays are shown to correlate with biolayer interferometry and can be

Expression of sialic acids and other nonulosonic acids in Leptospira [PDF]
BackgroundSialic acids are negatively charged nine carbon backbone sugars expressed on mammalian cell surfaces. Sialic acids are part of a larger family of nonulosonic acid (NulO) molecules that includes pseudaminic and legionaminic acids.

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

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.
