Viruses are a heterogeneous ensemble of entities, all sharing the need for a suitable host to
replicate. They are extremely diverse, varying in morphology, size, nature, and complexity of …

Chloroviruses are large dsDNA, plaque-forming viruses that infect certain chlorella-like
green algae; the algae are normally mutualistic endosymbionts of protists and metazoans …

The synthesis of N‐glycosides from stable glycosyl donors in a catalytic fashion is still
challenging, though they exist ubiquitously in DNA, RNA, glycoproteins, and other biological …

N‐glycans from glycoproteins are complex, branched structures whose structural
determination presents many analytical problems. Mass spectrometry, usually conducted in …

This review is the ninth update of the original article published in 1999 on the application of
matrix‐assisted laser desorption/ionization (MALDI) mass spectrometry to the analysis of …

Chloroviruses are large double-stranded DNA (dsDNA) viruses that infect certain isolates of
chlorella-like green algae. They contain up to approximately 400 protein-encoding genes …

The glycans of the major capsid protein (Vp54) of Paramecium bursaria chlorella virus
(PBCV-1) were recently described and found to be unusual. This prompted a reexamination …

The recent discovery that giant viruses encode proteins related to sugar synthesis and
processing paved the way for the study of their glycosylation machinery. We focused on the …

Glycosylation of surface molecules is a key feature of several eukaryotic viruses, which use
the host endoplasmic reticulum/Golgi apparatus to add carbohydrates to their nascent …

The general perception of viruses is that they are small in terms of size and genome, and
that they hijack the host machinery to glycosylate their capsid. Giant viruses subvert all these …
