Abstract: Glycoproteins have many important biological functions. In particular, aberrant glycosylation has been observed in various cancers, such as liver cancer. A well-known glycoprotein biomarker is α-fetoprotein (AFP), a surveillance biomarker for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) that… read more here.

Abstract: Nematode-trapping fungi are natural enemies of nematodes in nature. Arthrobotrys oligospora, a typical nematode-trapping fungus with a clear genetic background, can capture and infect nematodes by forming adhesive three-dimensional networks. Lectins, a class of glycoproteins… read more here.

DOI: 10.3390/molecules24122262
Abstract: Series of multivalent α-l-fucoside containing glycoclusters and variously decorated l-fucosides were synthesized to find potential inhibitors of fucose-specific lectins and study the structure-binding affinity relationships. Tri- and tetravalent fucoclusters were built using copper-mediated azide-alkyne click… read more here.
