Sialic acids, sialoconjugates and enzymes of their metabolism in fungi
Biotechnology & Biotechnological Equipment, 2021 Sialic acids (Sia) represent a set of derivatives of nine-carbon sugar neuraminic acid that occupy a terminal position in oligosaccharide chains located on the surface of cells. They are very important for several physiological and pathological processes,

Sialometabolism in Brain Health and Alzheimer’s Disease
Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2021 Sialic acids refer to a unique family of acidic sugars with a 9-carbon backbone that are mostly found as terminal residues in glycan structures of glycoconjugates including both glycoproteins and glycolipids.

Advances in Nutrition, 2012 Early postnatal development encounters milk as a key environmental variable and yet the sole nutrient source. One evolutionary conserved constituent of milk is sialic acid, which is generally displayed on glycoconjugates and free glycans. During early postnatal development, high sialic acid need was proposed to be unmet by the endogenous sialic acid ...

Polymer-stabilized sialylated nanoparticles : synthesis, optimization, and differential binding to influenza hemagglutinins [PDF]
, 2020 During influenza infection, hemagglutinins (HAs) on the viral surface bind to sialic acids on the host cell's surface. While all HAs bind sialic acids, human influenza targets terminal α2,6 sialic acids and avian influenza targets α2,3 sialic acids.

Determination of sialic acids in the nervous system of silkworm (Bombyx mori L.): Effects of aging and development [PDF]
Archives of Biological Sciences, 2017 Sialic acids mainly occur as components on cell surface glycoproteins and glycolipids. They play a major role in the chemical and biological diversity of glycoconjugates. Although sialic acids exhibit great structural variability in vertebrates,
