Carbohydrate-lipid interactions: Affinities of methylmannose polysaccharides for lipids in aqueous solution
Download2012
Xia, Li, Sun, Nian, Klassen, John S., Liu, Lan, Bai, Yu, Lowary, Todd L.
The interactions between 3-O-methyl-mannose polysaccharides (MMPs), extracted from Mycobacterium smegmatis (consisting of a mixture of MMP-10, -11, -12 and -13) or obtained by chemical synthesis (MMP-5s, -8s, -11s and -14s), and linear saturated and unsaturated fatty acids (FAs), and a commercial...

Changes in the triacylglycerol content of flaxseeds during development using liquid chromatography-atmospheric pressure photoionization-mass spectrometry (LC-APPI-MS)
Download2012
Zhao, Yan-Yan, Herchi, Wahid, Salah, H. B., Trabelsi, Hajer, Curtis, Jonathan M., Kallel, Hela, Boukhchina, Sadok
Changes in the composition of triacylglycerols (TAGs) of three varieties of flaxseeds (H52, O116 and P129) during development were investigated using non-aqueous reversed phase liquid chromatography coupled to atmospheric pressure photoionization-mass spectrometry (LC-APPI-MS). 17 species of...

Characterization of glycosyltransferases and glycosidases using electrospray mass spectrometry
DownloadFall 2011
Carbohydrates are one of the major classes of organic compounds found in nature and living organisms, and the diverse roles of carbohydrates are crucial for most life forms. The transformation and degradation of glycans are effectively regulated by carbohydrate-modifying enzymes. This thesis...

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...

Spring 2016
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...

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...
