Advancing glycomics: implementation strategies at the consortium for functional glycomics.
Glycomics-an integrated approach to study structure-function relationships of complex carbohydrates (or glycans)-is an emerging field in this age of post-genomics. Realizing the importance of glycomics, many large scale research initiatives have been established to generate novel resources and technologies to advance glycomics. These initiatives are generating and cataloging diverse data sets n...
متن کاملHeparan sulfate glycomics: towards systems biology strategies.
HSs (heparan sulfates) are a complex family of cell-surface and matrix polysaccharides that have diverse biological functions, underpinned by structurally diverse patterns of backbone chain modification, especially by sulfate groups. These variant structures represent a molecular code, the 'heparanome', that confers the ability to interact selectively with a wide interactome of proteins, the 'h...
متن کاملFunctional glycomics and glycobiology: an overview.
Glycomics is the study of the biological role of glycans and glycoconjugates, including glycoproteins, glycolipids, proteoglycans, and of protein-glycan interactions. This chapter outlines the scope of functional glycomics, from biological/biomedical significance to technology development.
متن کاملGlycomics Using Mass Spectrometry
Mass spectrometry (MS), which has advanced rapidly in recent years, is expected to become the tool of choice for high-throughput analysis of relationships between structures and functions of glycans. The structural analysis of glycans using MS employs a number of methods for pretreatment, derivatization, and interpretation. However, since none of these are universally applicable, researchers ha...
متن کاملGlycomics Hits the Big Time
Cells run on carbohydrates. Glycans, sequences of carbohydrates conjugated to proteins and lipids, are arguably the most abundant and structurally diverse class of molecules in nature. Recent advances in glycomics reveal the scope and scale of their functional roles and their impact on human disease.
