Abstract Cell wall traits are believed to be a key component of the succulent syndrome, an adaptive syndrome drought, yet variability such remains largely unknown. In this study, we surveyed leaf polysaccharide and glycoprotein composition in wide sampling Crassula species that occur naturally along aridity gradient southern Africa, interpreted its significance relation growth form arid adaptat...

The surface of mammalian cells is densely coated with complex glycans, which are directly involved in cell-cell or cell-protein interactions that trigger various biological responses. Here, we present a novel glycomics approach that uses quantum dot (Qdot)-lectin nanoconjugates to interrogate the surface glycans of tissues and patterned cells. Our approach allows highly sensitive in situ monito...

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...

Found in virtually every organism, glycans are essential molecules that play important roles almost aspect of biology. The composition glycome, the repertoire an organism or a biological sample, is often found altered many diseases, including cancer, infectious metabolic and developmental disorders. Understanding how glycosylation glycomic changes enriches our knowledge mechanisms disease progr...

background: over the past century, the areas of genomics, proteomics and lipids have captured the attention of investigators worldwide. carbohydrates, have recently received increased attention through the expanding field of glycobiology; probably because they are very complex and not encoded in the genome. objectives: the purpose of this study was to express and purify recombinant human galect...
