Emerging and Zoonotic Infections in Women

Infectious Disease Clinics of North America, 2008
Emerging infections, many zoonotic, are caused by a variety of pathogens with global distribution. Previously rare pathogens have emerged; global travel facilitates their rapid spread. Human encroachment on remote areas has brought contact with zoonotic diseases never before characterized. Although systematic study of rare outbreaks can be challenging,

Chemoenzymatic Synthesis of 6‐Sulfo Sialyl Lewisx Containing Glycans to Probe the Receptor Specificity of MERS Coronavirus

Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
A chemoenzymatic methodology is described that provided a panel of 6‐sulfo sialyl Lewisx‐containing glycans that were probed for receptor specificity of MERS‐CoV. Although the fucoside of 6‐sulfo‐SLex does not directly interact with the spike, it pre‐organizes the molecule into a conformation to allow a salt bridge between the sulfate and the ...
