Direct observation of glycans bonded to proteins and lipids at the single-molecule level

Proteins and lipids decorated with glycans are found throughout biological entities, playing roles in biological functions and dysfunctions. Current analytical strategies for these glycan-decorated biomolecules, termed glycoconjugates, rely on ensemble-ave ...

Combining cryognic ion spectroscopy with ion mobility for the study of glycan fragmentation

Robert Paul Pellegrinelli

The importance of glycans in biological processes are matched by their structural complexity. Coating the surface of most living cells, glycans play key roles in many biological processes, and the role they play is closely related to their structures. Stru ...

Mechanochemistry-assisted hydrolysis of softwood over stable sulfonated carbon catalysts in a semi-batch process

Frédéric Vogel, Oliver Kröcher, David Ferdinand Scholz

The hydrolysis of lignocellulose is the first step in saccharide based bio-refining. The recovery of homogeneous acid catalysts imposes great challenges to the feasibility of conventional hydrolysis processes. Herein, we report a strategy to overcome these ...

Physiological Adaptations to Sugar Intake: New Paradigms from Drosophila melanogaster

Bruno Lemaitre, Wen Bin Chng

Sugars are important energy sources, but high sugar intake poses a metabolic challenge and leads to diseases. Drosophila melanogaster is a generalist fruit breeder that encounters high levels of dietary sugars in its natural habitat. Consequently, Drosophi ...

Branched Lateral Tail Fiber Organization in T5-Like Bacteriophages DT57C and DT571/2 is Revealed by Genetic and Functional Analysis

Ricardo Cesar Guerrero Ferreira, Nikolai Prokhorov

The T5-like siphoviruses DT57C and DT571/2, isolated from horse feces, are very closely related to each other, and most of their structural proteins are also nearly identical to T5 phage. Their LTFs (L-shaped tail fibers), however, are composed of two prot ...
