Environmental Science and Technology, 2020 Anammox (anaerobic ammonium oxidation) bacteria are important for the nitrogen cycle in both natural environments and wastewater treatment plants. These bacteria have a strong tendency to grow in aggregates like biofilms and granular sludge.

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 ...

Synthesis of Sialic Acids and Sialic Acid Derivatives [PDF]
, 1982 Sialic acids as such, sialic acid derivatives, analogues, glycosides and sialooligosaccharides have been subject of many synthetic investigations. These studies were aimed at a further exploration of the properties of sialic acids, the preparation of substrates and inhibitors for sialidases, sialyltransferases or for sialic acid converting enzymes, and

Sialic acids: An Avenue to Target Cancer Progression, Metastasis, and Resistance to Therapy
Forum of Clinical Oncology, 2022 Sialic acids are alpha-keto acids with nine carbons that are commonly present in the terminal sugars of glycans on glycoproteins and glycolipids on the cell surface.

mBio, 2021 All cells in vertebrates are coated with a dense array of glycans often capped with sugars called sialic acids. Sialic acids have many functions, including serving as a signal for recognition of “self” cells by the immune system, thereby guiding an ...

Screening coronavirus and human proteins for sialic acid binding sites using a docking approach
AIMS Biophysics, 2021 The initial step of interaction of some pathogens with the host is driven by the interaction of glycoproteins of either side via endcaps of their glycans. These end caps consist of sialic acids or sugar molecules.

Free and bound forms of sialic acid in blood plasma of patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia
Regulatory Mechanisms in Biosystems, 2015 The level of free and bound forms of sialic acids (SА) was investigated in chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) and at different stages of receiving chemotherapy.

Sialic acid and crystal binding [PDF]
Kidney International, 2000 We studied the role of cell surface sialic acid in the adherence of calcium oxalate monohydrate (COM) crystals to Madin-Darby canine kidney (MDCK) cells.Studies were performed with undifferentiated (crystal-binding) cells in subconfluent cultures and maturated (noncrystal-binding) cells in confluent cultures.

Distinct Roles for Sialoside and Protein Receptors in Coronavirus Infection
mBio, 2020 Coronaviruses (CoVs) are common human and animal pathogens that can transmit zoonotically and cause severe respiratory disease syndromes. CoV infection requires spike proteins, which bind viruses to host cell receptors and catalyze virus-cell membrane ...
