El-Hawiet, Amr, Klassen, John S., Kitova, Elena N.

A semiquantitative electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESI-MS) binding assay suitable for analyzing mixtures of oligosaccharides, at unknown concentrations, for interactions with target proteins is described. The assay relies on the differences in the ratio of the relative abundances of...

Kitova, Elena N., Klassen, John S., Fan, Xuxin, Privé, Gilbert G., Cairo, Christopher W., Xiong, Zi Jian, Ng, Kenneth K. S., Zou, Chunxia, Eugenio, Luiz, Li, Jun

An electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESI-MS) assay for screening carbohydrate libraries against lectins is described. The assay is based on the proxy protein ESI-MS method, which combines direct ESI-MS protein–ligand binding measurements and competitive protein binding, to simultaneously...

Inhibitors of human neuraminidase enzymes (NEU) are recognized as important tools for the study of the biological functions of NEU and will be potent tools for elucidating the role of these enzymes in regulating the repertoire of cellular glycans. Here we report the discovery of selective...

Guo, Tianlin, Datwyler, Philipp, Demina, Ekaterina, Richards, Michele R, Ge, Peng, Zou, Chunxia, Zheng, Ruixiang Blake, Fougerat, Anne, Pshezhetsky, Alexey V, Ernst, Beat, Cairo, Christopher W.

Human neuraminidases (NEU) are associated with human diseases including cancer, atherosclerosis, and diabetes. To obtain small molecule inhibitors as research tools for the study of their biological functions, we designed a library of 2-deoxy-2,3-didehydro-N-acetylneuraminic acid (DANA) analogues...

Systems composed of a poly(N-isopropylacrylamide)-co-acrylic acid (pNIPAm-co-AAc) microgels (AAc-MG) and poly(N-isopropylacrylamide-3-(acrylamido)phenylboronic acid) (pNIPAm-co-APBA) microgels (APBA-MG) were used to sequentially release small molecules to a system in a controlled and triggered...

Infusion of blood cells from a donor can induce humoral tolerance in a recipient and increase the probability of successful organ transplant, a clinical method defined as donor-specific transfusion (DST). Despite the clinical success of DST, the immunological mechanisms by which blood cells...

Silicon nanoparticles (SiNPs) are biologically compatible, metal-free quantum dots that exhibit size and surface tailorable photoluminescence. The nanostructure of these materials influences their optical, chemical, and material properties and hence plays an important role in their...

Wang, Chao, Moghaddam, Reza B., Brett, Michael J., Bergens, Steven H.

A series of Ni1–xFex hydrous oxide nanoparticles (HO-nps, x = 0–0.5, 1) were prepared by stirring 0.1 M KOH solutions of NiCl2 and FeCl2 under air at room temperature. The resulting HO-nps can be used directly, or washed and isolated without loss of activity. The Ni1–xFex HO-nps are outstandingly...

Poly (N-isopropylacrylamide) (pNIPAm)-based hydrogels and hydrogel particles (microgels) have been extensively studied since their discovery a number of decades ago. While their utility seems to have no limit, this feature article is focused on their development and application for sensing small...
