Cells encode information in the sequence of biopolymers, such as nucleic acids, proteins,
and glycans. Although glycans are essential to all living organisms, surprisingly little is …

Glycosylation is crucial in cellular metabolism and survival. Of interest is the role of N-linked
and O-linked glycans in disease states. Robust analytical methods must be defined to …

The early life human gut microbiota exerts life-long health effects on the host, but the
mechanisms underpinning its assembly remain elusive. Particularly, the early colonization of …

This protocol shows how to obtain a detailed glycan compositional and structural profile from
purified glycoproteins or protein mixtures, and it can be used to distinguish different isobaric …

Systems and methods are disclosed for communicating data in an integrated sensor network
having one or more nodes coupled to an optical sensor network and a radio frequency …

Most methods for the analysis of oligosaccharides from biological sources require a glycan
derivatization step: glycans may be derivatized to introduce a chromophore or fluorophore …

1.1. General Considerations Structural intricacies of carbohydrate molecules and their
propensity to form varied linkages, substitutions, and branching patterns have fascinated …

Carbohydrates form one of the major classes of biological macromolecules in living
organisms. To investigate their properties and function, an in‐depth knowledge of their …

The oral cavity is one of the most heavily colonized parts of our body. The warm, nutrient-rich
and moist environment promotes the growth of a diverse microflora. One of the factors …

Hydrophilic interaction chromatography (HILIC) with mass spectrometry is a versatile
technique for structural glycomics. Glycans are retained by hydrogen bonding, ionic …
