The present advances in biology are related to progress in genomics, proteomics, and other
“-omics”, including glycomics, working with a large amount of data regarding human and …

One of the most important direct defense responses in plants against the attack by
phytophagous insects is the production of insecticidal peptides or proteins. One particular …

The lectin microarray is a novel platform for glycan analysis, having emerged only in recent
years. Unlike other conventional methods, eg, liquid chromatography and mass …

Covalent attachment of biorecognizable sugar ligands in several copies at precise positions
of cyclomaltooligosaccharide (cyclodextrin, CD) macrocycles has proven to be an extremely …

The large diversity and complexity of glycan structures together with their crucial role in
many biological or pathological processes require the development of new high-throughput …

Despite efficiently imitating functional ligand presentations in terms of valency and density,
most of the reported multivalent carbohydrate prototypes barely reflect the inherent …

This review outlines the antimicrobial activity of secondary metabolites and lectins,
compounds usually associated to defense mechanisms of plants. Secondary metabolites …

Aberrant O-glycans expressed at the surface of cancer cells consist of membrane-tethered
glycoproteins (T and Tn antigens) and glycolipids (Lewis a, Lewis x and Forssman …

The majority of cell differentiation associated tumor markers reported to date are either
glycoproteins or glycolipids. Despite there being a large number of glycoproteins reported …

Carbohydrates encode biological information necessary for cellular function. The structural
diversity and complexity of these sugar residues have necessitated the creation of novel …
