The causative agent of the pandemic identified as SARS-CoV-2 leads to a severe respiratory illness similar SARS and MERS with fever, cough, shortness breath symptoms cases that can often be fatal. In our study, we report findings based on molecular docking analysis which could new effective way for controlling virus additionally, another manipulative possibilities involving mimicking immune sys...

The relationship between two aminopolysaccharide stereoisomers, namely α-(1→4)- and β-(1→4)-linked (N-acetyl)-D-glucosamine polymers, is of significant interest within the field of polysaccharide science, as they correspond to amino analogs of the representative abundant natural polysaccharides, viz. amylose and cellulose. While the latter glucosamine polymer is the basis of well-known natural ...

Sugar residues in proteoglycan complexes carry important signalling and regulatory functions in biology. In humans, heparan sulphate is an example of such a complex polymer containing glucosamine and N-acetyl-glucosamine residues and is present in the extracellular matrix. Although heparan sulphate has not been found in plants, the At5g13690 gene encoding the alpha-N-acetyl-glucosaminidase (NAG...

The particulate enzyme fraction obtained from Micrococcus Zysodeikficus catalyzed the incorporation of D-[r4C]glucose from uridine diphospho-n-[r4C]glucose into a polymer which resembled the n-glucoseand N-acetyl-n-mannosaminuronic acid-containing polysaccharide of the cell walls of this organism. In vifro biosynthesis of the polysaccharide depended upon the presence of the uridine diphospho-Na...

the mucopolysaccharidoses are a clinically and genetically heterogenous group of lysosomal storage diseases caused by defects in different enzymes for mucopolysaccharid degradation (glycosaminoglycans). except for mucopolysaccharide storage disease type ii (hunter disease), all are transmitted through an autosomal recessive mode of inheritanceinheritance. clinical feature of these metabolic dis...

The wastes generated by the shrimp industry are approximately between 50 and 60% of catch volume. These residues such as head, viscera, shell potential pollutants if they not treated for proper disposal. One way to solve this problem is use functional food ingredients. In regard, rich in chitin, second most abundant biopolymer on planet after cellulose. Chitin composed N-acetyl glucosamine, a m...

N-acetyl glucosamine binding protein amplifies the concentration of one member in a dynamic combinatorial glycopeptide library based on exchanging disulfides.

Adherence of 14C-glucose labeled Candida albicans to vaginal epithelial cells was measured in the presence of 10 potential inhibitory sugars at concentrations of 5 to 150 mg per ml for 90 minutes at 37 degrees C. In competitive inhibition experiments, no inhibition of adherence was seen with any sugar at any concentration. On the contrary, with the exception of the aminosugars glucosamine, gala...
