The central dogma of molecular biology limits the downstream flow of genetic information to
proteins. Progress from the last two decades of research on cellular glycoconjugates justifies …

The term 'code'in biological information transfer appears to be tightly and hitherto exclusively
connected with the genetic code based on nucleotides and translated into functional …

The zona pellucida (ZP) is an extracellular matrix surrounding the oocyte and the early
embryo that exerts several important functions during fertilization and early embryonic …

During the past 2 decades, a number of genes have been cloned from mammals which
encode polypeptides that participate in the process of fertilization. Among these are …

Gamete recognition has been studied extensively in the mouse. In this system, it is generally
believed that sperm bind to a class of O-linked oligosaccharides on the zona pellucida …

Neutral N-linked carbohydrate chains from pig ZPB/ZPC mixture are shown to possess
sperm ligand activity. Of these complex-type chains, triantennary/tetraantennary chains …

The recognition of carbohydrate sequences by complimentary receptors has been shown to
be a critical factor in gamete interaction in many different animal species. We have proposed …

Bei der N-Glykosylierung handelt es sich um die häufigste Modifikation sezernierter und
Membran-gebundener Proteine in eukaryontischen Zellen. Die Aufklärung der N-Glykan …
