Conformational flexibility and dynamics of two (1-->6)-linked disaccharides related to an oligosaccharide epitope expressed on malignant tumour cells.

5 Sep 2009 The conformational flexibility and dynamics of two (1-->6)-linked disaccharides that are related to the action of the glycosyl transferase GnT-V have been investigated. NMR NOE and T-ROE spectroscopy experiments, conformation-dependent coupling ... Read more...

Glycan bioengineering in immunogen design for tumor T antigen immunotargeting.

30 Aug 2009 Bioengineering of Galbeta3GalNAcalpha, known as Thomsen-Friedenreich disaccharide (TFD), is studied to promote glycan immunogenicity and immunotargeting to tumor T antigen (Galbeta3GalNAcalpha-O-Ser/Thr). Theoretical studies on disaccharide ... Read more...

Differential lipopolysaccharide core capping leads to quantitative and correlated modifications of mechanical and structural properties in Pseudomonas aeruginosa biofilms.

26 Aug 2009 Bacterial biofilms are responsible for the majority of all microbial infections and have profound impact on industrial and geochemical processes. While many studies documented phenotypic differentiation and gene regulation of biofilms, the ... Read more...
