Gifu University scientists have uncovered how a brain-specific enzyme reshapes protein-linked sugar chains to facilitate the formation of complex glycans essential for normal brain function. These ...

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 ...

The first automated, web-based application that enables routine use of enzymatic digestions to improve N-glycan structural analyses, GlycanAnalyzer, has been released from New England Biolabs (NEB).

CD BioGlyco's experience in this field demonstrates that through meticulous fine-tuning of reaction conditions, chemical methods can achieve both efficient and broad-spectrum glycan release while ...

In the future, a little saliva may be enough to detect an incipient cancer. Researchers at the University of Gothenburg have developed an effective way to interpret the changes in sugar molecules that ...

Glycans, or structures of sugar molecules in our cells, can be measured by mass spectrometry. One important use is that the structures can indicate different forms of cancer in the cells. However, the ...
