Strength in numbers: non-natural polyvalent carbohydrate derivatives.
Many processes mediated by protein-carbohydrate interactions involve multivalent low-affinity binding, which is inherently difficult to study. New structural templates for the generation of multivalent carbohydrate displays have recently been developed, and tailored multivalent saccharide derivatives can now be used to study and modulate a wide variety of biological recognition events.

For more than ten years the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans has proven to be a valuable model for studies of the host response to various bacterial and fungal pathogens. When exposed to a pathogenic organism, a clear response is elicited in the nematode, which is characterized by specific alterations on the transcriptional and translational levels. Early on, researchers took advantage of the po...

متن کاملSynthesis and antimicrobial evaluation of carbohydrate and polyhydroxylated non-carbohydrate fatty acid ester and ether derivatives.
A series of fatty acid ester and ether derivatives have been chemically synthesised based on carbohydrate and non-carbohydrate polyhydroxylated scaffolds. The synthesised compounds, along with their corresponding fatty acid monoglyceride antimicrobials, were evaluated for antimicrobial activity against Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli. Of the derivatives synthesised, several of the ca...
متن کاملStrength in numbers? Not always!
We propose a simple model to compute the probability of success under a quorum sensing strategy. We show that a quorum sensing strategy has a higher probability of success than an individualistic strategy when, for instance, the probability of success for a single individual is low and the cost of building a quorum is not too high. On the other hand if the cost of building a quorum is too high ...
