We present a novel approach to constructing glycosylated surface for microporous membrane. Carbohydrate derivative can be facilely bound onto the alkyne-modified membrane surface via thiol-yne click chemistry. The glycosylated membrane surface shows an excellent affinity adsorption to lectin on the basis of carbohydrate-protein recognition.

Objective(s):Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the most common age-related neurodegenerative disorder. One of the hallmarks of AD is an abnormal accumulation of fibril forms of tau protein which is known as a microtubule associated protein. In this regard, inhibition of tau aggregation has been documented to be a potent therapeutic approach in AD and tauopathies. Unfortunately, the available syntheti...

It remains unclear how salivary alpha-amylase (sAA) levels respond to mechanical stimuli in different age groups. In addition, the role played by the sAA gene (AMY1) copy number and protein expression (glycosylated and non-glycosylated) in sAA activity has also been rarely reported. In this study, we analyzed saliva samples collected before and after citric acid stimulation from 47 child and 47...

Chikungunya virus (CHIKV) is a rapidly emerging mosquito-borne that causes severe febrile illness with long-lasting arthralgia in humans. As there no vaccine to protect humans and limit CHIKV epidemics, the continues be global public health concern. The envelope glycoproteins E1 E2 are important immunogens; therefore, aim of this study produce trimeric spikes insect cells using baculovirus expr...

Protein glycolysation is an essential posttranslational modification in eukaryotic cells. In pathogenic yeasts, it is involved in a large number of biological processes, such as protein folding quality control, cell viability and host/pathogen relationships. A link between protein glycosylation and apoptosis was established by the analysis of the phenotypes of oligosaccharyltransferase mutants ...

RT-PCR confirmed that human cell lines of diverse peripheral origins express transcripts for the serotonin transporter (sert/slc6a4). Molecular weights reported for the translated protein appear to be quite variable however. Here we compared directly immunoreactive protein generated from cloned sert transfected into HEK293 with that carried endogenously among the cell lines. The dominant glycos...
