Several of the plasma glycoproteins demonstrate specific binding properties, being responsible for the transport of such materials as copper (ceruloplasmin), iron (transferrin), hemoglobin ...

With the background on the structure and metabolism of the carbohydrate-containing proteins presented in the first part of this review one can now consider the properties, both chemical and biologic, ...

Limnology and Oceanography, Vol. 57, No. 6 (2012), pp. 1775-1788 (14 pages) The envelope of cyanobacterial heterocysts contains characteristic glycolipids termed heterocyst glycolipids (HGs). Six ...

Sensors that selectively detect glycolipids—molecules that are involved in infection, inflammation, and cancer progression—are hard to make. Most sensors target either the hydrophilic sugar head group ...

Sialic acids, also referred to as neuraminic acids, are critical to glycoprotein bioavailability, function, stability, and metabolism. When present, these carbohydrates occupy terminal positions of ...

A variety of molecules protrude from the cell surface, including glycoproteins, glycolipids, and the newly discovered glycoRNAs. This illustration depicts RNA as a double-stranded stem and a loop, and ...

Certain minuscule cancer signals easily evade detection, but perhaps no longer. Biomarkers made of glycoproteins are bound to get snared in the tentacles of this chemical octopus that chemists devised ...

The potential "tripledemic" of influenza, SARS-CoV-2 and RSV (respiratory syncytial virus) infection continues to be a concern. Vaccines remain the best defense against COVID-19 and influenza, with ...
