By Prof Gordan Lauc, PhDThe glycosylation machinery inside the cell’s factories requires the coordinated action of hundreds of different enzymes working together in perfect harmony. If even one of these enzymes is not working properly, that can be a big problem.
By Mattia Vacchini and Thomas KlarićGlycans are complex sugar molecules that are present on the majority of proteins in the human body. As such, glycans have shown great potential as biomarkers of both biological and chronological ages, as well as various diseases, including cancer and autoimmune diseases.
By Azra FrkatovićDetailed glycan analysis and potential post-translational modifications of the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein is very important for the development of glycoprotein-based vaccine.
By Tea PetrovicWe need to intensify studies on the role of glycosylation and understand the importance of these complicated structures if we want to have success in the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of the COVID-19.
By Mislav Novokmet, Maja Pučić Baković, Gordan LaucGlycoproteins found at the surface of several viruses are called viral envelope glycoproteins and they are great targets for virus neutralization.
By Petra TominacIgG glycosylation is an important part of antibody-based drug production since it offers insights into the drug’s efficacy along with a more accurate prediction of the patient’s immune response to the drug.
By Ana CindrićThe spike protein mediates receptor recognition and membrane fusion during host cell infection.
