Scientists at the Scripps Research Institute (TSRI) have described a new technique for adding glycans to cells and screening interactions between glycans and proteins. Their study (“Cell-Based Glycan ...

A glycan microarray is a high-throughput tool for investigating the binding between glycans – polysaccharides or carbohydrates, such as heparan sulfate (HS) and chondroitin sulfate (CS) – and ...

Bethesda, MD (July 30, 2004) –Researchers in New York City and Guangzhou, China applied the rapidly-developing carbohydrate microarray technology to study an inactivated SARS-coronavirus (SARS-CoV) ...

Developers are working on analytical platforms to elucidate this latest omics field. Another “ome” has joined the biological universe. The glycoproteome has become the object of intense study. While ...

Protein and peptide microarrays, the emerging tools for proteomics and clinical assays, are high-throughput methods that track binding events and activities, and decide the function of proteins on a ...

Despite glycans’ fundamental importance to biology, they remain poorly understood compared to DNA and proteins. Because of their structural complexity, glycans are arduous to manufacture. And unlike ...
