Sites of O-glycosylation on the spike protein were near N-glycosites, suggesting O-glycans complement N-glycans' effect in immune shielding. The severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 ...

Scientists at the University of Cape Town (UCT) have recently discovered a mechanism that promotes the formation of ...

Glycosylation is one of the most abundant of all protein post-translational modifications (PTMs). It results from the addition of sugar residues to protein sidechains to form a glycoprotein. Mammalian ...

Researchers from the University of Cape Town's (UCT) Scientific Computing Research Unit (SCRU) have uncovered a critical ...

A recent study published in Engineering introduces GlycoPro, a novel high-throughput sample-processing platform that aims to transform the field of multi-glycosylation-omics analysis. Glycosylation, a ...

Protein glycosylation is a post-translational/co-translational covalent attachment of glycans to the amino acid side chains of proteins. Severe acute respiratory ...

Scientists from Croatia have identified 90 genes associated with the glycosylation of immunoglobulin (IgG). The team, who has already shown that 20 of these genes can be used to tweak glycosylation ...

Carbohydrate chemists and biochemists tend to be controlling personalities. They aren't satisfied with the way sugar groups are attached naturally to glycosylated proteins and natural products. These ...

CDG? Researchers have discovered a new congenital disorder of glycosylation (CDG) caused by a ribophorin I mutation that ...

Researchers at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center and the University of Cape Town have uncovered early cellular changes and molecular switches that drive tumor growth. These discoveries, involving ...
