A recent study posted on the bioRxiv* preprint server explored the glycan shield diversity of sarbecoviruses, furthering the knowledge for developing broad-range pan-coronavirus vaccines. Study: The ...

"The exceptionally high level of G0 glycans reached through our glycoengineering work with C1 was a very important interim goal in our ongoing C1 research and development program with Dyadic where we ...

A type of glycan called “N-glycan” is usually extended by the actions of several enzymes (glycosyltransferases). The terminal sugar “sialic acid” increases protein stability in blood. Once B4GALNT3 ...

In this interview, News-Medical talks to a pioneer of glycan imaging, Richard Drake about glycans, their role in maintaining cellular homeostasis, glycopeptide analysis, and method development for ...

Researchers at National Taiwan University have developed a tip-enhanced Raman spectroscopy platform that can identify tiny structural differences in oligosaccharides without fluorescent labels. The ...

In the fight against infectious diseases, the most daunting foes include viruses that use glycans to fend off antibodies. These glycans form on the outermost spike proteins of HIV and many other ...

Sugars (see Box 1-1) are everywhere. They are the foundation of all life on Earth. The most important biochemical process on Earth is photosynthesis—plants, algae, and other similar organisms using ...
