Techniques involving solid supports have played crucial roles in the development of genomics,
proteomics, and in molecular biology in general. Simularly, methods for immobilization or …

Glycobiology is the comprehensive biological investigation of carbohydrates. The study of the
role and function of complex carbohydrates often requires the attachment of carbohydrates …

Surface polysaccharides are important for bacterial interactions with multicellular organisms,
and some are virulence factors in pathogens. In the legume–rhizobium symbiosis, bacterial …

Lipochitin oligosaccharides called Nod factors function as primary rhizobial signal molecules
triggering legumes to develop new plant organs: root nodules that host the bacteria as …

The in vitro and in vivo pharmacological properties of N-(4-fluorophenylmethyl)-N-(1-methylpiperidin-4-yl)-N′-(4-(2-methylpropyloxy)phenylmethyl)carbamide
(2R,3R)-…

Plants associate with beneficial arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi facilitating nutrient acquisition.
Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi produce chitooligosaccharides (COs) and lipo-…

A highly efficient method for chemical modification of chitosan biopolymers by reductive
amination to yield N,N-dialkyl chitosan derivatives was developed. The use of 3,6-O-di-tert-…

Plants evolved lysine motif (LysM) receptors to recognize and parse microbial elicitors and
drive intracellular signaling to limit or facilitate microbial colonization. We investigated how …

Here we report that grafting of a short antimicrobial peptide, anoplin, to chitosan polymers is
a strategy for abolishing the hemolytic propensity, and at the same time increasing the …

The surface recognition in many biological systems is guided by the interaction of
carbohydrate‐specific proteins (lectins) with carbohydrate epitopes (ligands) located within the …
