Chemical, Enzymatic and Chemo-enzymatic Synthesis of Complex Oligosaccharides as Probes of Glycan Functions
DownloadSpring 2016
Carbohydrates, an essential class of biomolecules, mediate a variety of biological processes. Recent advances in chemical, enzymatic and chemo-enzymatic synthesis have facilitated access to an increasing number of structurally well-defined oligosaccharides. These molecules are serving as...

Comparative genomics of Lactobacillus reuteri from sourdough reveals adaptation of an intestinal symbiont to food fermentations
Download2015
Zhao, Xin, Gänzle, Michael G., Lin, Xiaoxi B., Zheng, Jinshui
Lactobacillus reuteri is a dominant member of intestinal microbiota of vertebrates, and occurs in food fermentations. The stable presence of L. reuteri in sourdough provides the opportunity to study the adaptation of vertebrate symbionts to an extra-intestinal habitat. This study evaluated this...

One of the key obstacles to the effective use of mass spectrometry (MS) in high throughput metabolomics is the difficulty in interpreting measured spectra to accurately and efficiently identify metabolites. Traditional methods for automated metabolite identification compare the target MS spectrum...

Design of Macromolecular Anti-cancer Drug Delivery Systems using Molecular Dynamics Simulation
DownloadFall 2015
In recent years, the application of self-associating block copolymer based drug delivery systems has attracted increasing attention as nano-sized carriers for the encapsulation and the controlled delivery of water insoluble drugs. Most of the drug formulations are based on the “trial and error”...

Klassen, John S., Han, Ling, Kitova, Elena N.
This study reports on the use of the catch-and-release electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (CaR-ESI-MS) assay, combined with glycomicelles, as a method for detecting specific interactions between water-soluble proteins and glycolipids (GLs) in aqueous solution. The B subunit homopentamers...

Development and Application of Chemical Isotope Labeling Methods for Metabolomics Data Processing and Liquid Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry-Based Metabolomics
DownloadSpring 2016
Metabolomics is the study of chemical processes involving small-molecule metabolites in a given biological system. These small molecules are downstream outputs of cellular activities. An understanding of the metabolome change can help us to visualize perturbations in the genome or proteome from...
