Glycosylation Profile of Sars-Cov-2 Spike Protein

Detailed glycan analysis and potential post-translational modifications of the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein is very important for the development of glycoprotein-based vaccine.

COVID19 Severity – Are Smokers at Risk?

We are all aware of the bad effect smoking has on our body and health but here is another reason while quitting is worthwhile.

Understanding Glycans in COVID-19 Drug Design

We need to intensify studies on the role of glycosylation and understand the importance of these complicated structures if we want to have success in the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of the COVID-19.

Mucin 4 Glycoprotein Appears to Play an Important Role in Coronavirus Disease

Many surfaces of our body, including surface of the respiratory system (from the nose to the lung), eyes, ears, intestine and others, are covered by a layer called mucus. This mucus layer serves as the body's very first line of defence against pathogens (e.g. bacteria, viruses).

Glycans in Drug Discovery - HIV Glycopeptide Antigens

Glycoproteins found at the surface of several viruses are called viral envelope glycoproteins and they are great targets for virus neutralization.

Glycans as Biomarkers for Liver and Pancreatic Cancer

With cancer being one of the deadliest diseases on earth, the need for biomarkers that can determine the risk of developing it is extraordinary.

The Importance of IgG Glycosylation in Drug Development

IgG glycosylation is an important part of antibody-based drug production since it offers insights into the drug’s efficacy along with a more accurate prediction of the patient’s immune response to the drug.

Biomarkers of Biological Age as Predictors of COVID-19 Disease Severity

Early epidemiological studies suggest that age is the most important predictor of severity of COVID-19 disease course.

The Sars-Cov-2 Spike Protein Is Densely Glycosylated

The spike protein mediates receptor recognition and membrane fusion during host cell infection.
