Structure and stability of carbohydrate-lipid interactions: Methylmannose polysaccharide-fatty acid complexes
Download2016
Mayer, Paul M., Richards, Michele R., Lowary, Todd L., Renaud, Justin, Klassen, John S., Tieleman, D. Peter, Kitova, Elena N., Liu, Lan, Siuda, Iwona
We report a detailed study of the structure and stability of carbohydrate–lipid interactions. Complexes of a methylmannose polysaccharide (MMP) derivative and fatty acids (FAs) served as model systems. The dependence of solution affinities and gas-phase dissociation activation energies (Ea) on FA...

Study of Non-Covalent Protein-Carbohydrate Interactions using Electrospray Ionization Mass Spectrometry
DownloadFall 2012
This thesis describes the development and application of electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESI-MS) methods to study protein-carbohydrate interactions in vitro. The affinities (Ka) of two recombinant fragments of Clostridium difficile toxins (TcdA & TcdB) and a library of the most...
