Canonical Antibodies Adopt Distinct Binding Modes to Recognize Viral Glycan Shields
Canonical Y‐shaped antibodies recognize viral glycan shields through adaptive Fab assembly states shaped by glycan organization and somatic hypermutation. Structural analyses ofbroadly neutralizing antibodies VRC35 and VRC36 across glycoproteins of HIV‐1, influenza, SARS‐CoV‐2, and Lassa viruses reveal distinct Fab assembly states, spanning monovalent,

Database Analysis of O-Glycosylation Sites in Proteins [PDF]
Statistical analysis was carried out to study the sequential aspects of amino acids around the O-glycosylated Ser/Thr. 992 sequences containing O-glycosylated Ser/Thr were selected from the O-GLYCBASE database of O-glycosylated proteins. The frequency of

A clinically translatable cell line can be engineered to produce leptin, encapsulated in biomaterial and safely implanted to produce and deliver the metabolic regulating protein within the body. Implantation of these encapsulated cells decreases the time it takes for mice and non‐human primates to adjust to circadian disruptions similar to those ...

The cloning , expression and characterisation of bacterial chitin-binding proteins from pseudomonas aeruginosa , serratia marcescens, photorhabdus luminescens and photorhabdus asymbiotica. [PDF]
It is well recognised that most proteins are subject to post translational modifications and that these modifications can have specific effects on the biological properties and functions of these proteins.

Diastereoselectivity in Anomeric O-alkylation Glycosylation [PDF]
Biosynth AS used anomeric O-alkylation of α-haloacetophenones in their patented total synthesis of anthocyanins from 2006. There were, however, several challenges with stereoselectivity and yields when performing this glycosylation on a large scale.

Drought Stress Mediated Changes in Food Crops: Mechanisms and Remediation Strategies
This work presents a multi‐scale framework for flavonoid‐mediated drought tolerance in staple food crops, integrating ROS redox regulation, antioxidant defense, rhizosphere microbial interactions, and sustainable agronomic practices. This interdisciplinary model provides core insights to develop climate‐resilient cropping systems and enhance global ...

Precision Probing of O-GalNAc Glycosylation Using Bump-and-Hole Engineering
Glycosylation is a profound influencer of glycoprotein function. Glycans have a critical impact on health and disease, yet the tools to study them have trailed behind proteins and nucleic acids.

Switching Spike Plasticity Shapes ACE2 Engagement Across SARS‐CoV‐2 Variants
Conformational plasticity governs SARS‐CoV‐2 spike function and ACE2 recognition. Using high‐speed AFM and single‐molecule force spectroscopy, we analyzed the ancestral spike and nine variants, revealing progressive rigidification from Delta, variable plasticity in Omicron sublineages, and JN.1 compaction.

A Synthetic Platform for Antibody Junctional Diversification Beyond Natural Constraints
ARESEC is a synthetic platform that reconstructs functional V(D)J recombination in HEK293T cells. By introducing RSS elements and co‐expressing RAG1/2 and TdT across all three antibody CDRs, it enables programmable junctional diversification and direct generation of high‐affinity variants targeting PD‐1/PD‐L1, overcoming the evolutionary constraints of

Multiple Roles of Glycans in Hematological Malignancies
The three types of blood cells (red blood cells for carrying oxygen, white blood cells for immune protection, and platelets for wound clotting) arise from hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells in the adult bone marrow, and function in physiological ...
