  1. 🦠 In the seas as in the human gut, #bacteria use the same survival toolkit: Conserved #glycan-utilization strategies shape #Akkermansiaceae success🔬

    Marine and gut Akkermansiaceae share conserved glycan uptake. Ecological transitions may reflect substrate specialization on an inherited framework.

  2. Structural and immunological characterization of the #H3 #influenza #hemagglutinin during #antigenic #drift, BioRxIV: biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/20

    In this study, we explore the influence of #glycan #evolution on H3 hemagglutinin from 1968 to present day and its impacts on antigenicity and immunogenicity.

  4. `We report a fluorinated azido-coumarin scaffold which enables #photolabeling under fast and mild activation, and which can leave a #fluorescent tag on crosslinked species. Coupling this scaffold to an α-fucoside, we demonstrate fluorogenic photolabeling of #glycan-#protein interactions over a wide range of affinities. We expect this strategy to be broadly applicable to other #chromophores and we envision that such “fluoro-crosslinkers” could become important tools`

  6. An #introduction into our work on #glycotime! We are a lab joint between the Francis Crick Institute and the Department of Chemistry at Imperial College London. We develop what we call chemical "precision tools" to investigate protein #glycosylation. These tools are specific for individual #glycosyltransferases, #glycan subtypes or cell lines. We employ methods of #chembio including #OrgChem, protein engineering, #glycoproteomics, #imaging, #chemoenzymatic synthesis and drug discovery.
