However, these sugar structures are often so complex that they cannot simply be replicated in a laboratory. Moons says, "Suppose you link two smaller sugars together, then two potentially more complex ...
Built from thickets of glucose, galactose, mannose and more, the glycome plays key roles in cell communication, immunity and ...
A vaccine against one of the most dangerous hospital germs may soon be available. Scientists from the Max Planck Institute of Colloids and Interfaces in Potsdam and the Freie Universität Berlin have ...
Bacterial cells are covered by a complex carbohydrate coat of armor that allows bacteria to survive and thrive in a range of environments. Bacterial sugars are intriguing therapeutic targets since ...
The brain-specific enzyme GnT-IX adds a side branch to O-mannose glycans on proteins, creating a scaffold that allows other enzymes to efficiently build keratan sulfate and other complex sugar ...
