Specificity of carbohydrate binding by AAV1 capsids on a glycan array. Interestingly, an older version of the array, containing glycans immobilized as biotinylated glycosides on a 384-well streptavidin-coated plate, was used to screen the sugar binding specificity of the parvovirus minute virus of mice (MVM) capsids (M. This array, containing sialylated and nonsialylated sugars with different linkages and modifications, was constructed for identifying specific carbohydrate binding partners for ...

To assay for oxidoreductase activity, the purified recombinant proteins were incubated in 100-μl reactions at 37 °C overnight with 1 mg/ml 2,7-anhydro-Neu5Ac or Neu5Ac in 20 mm sodium phosphate buffer, pH 7.5, in the presence 500 μm NADH. The structure was acquired from a crystal grown in the JCSG Plus screen (100 mm sodium citrate, pH 5.5, 20% PEG 3000). The diffraction experiment was performed on the I04 beamline at Diamond Light Source Ltd. Crystal structure of RgNanOx. B, structure of putat...

This observation was further supported by the staining with fluorescently tagged lectin from Arachis hypogaea following neuraminidase treatment. TRITC-tagged lectin from Arachis hypogaea did not bind to treated cells (B), and the monolayer was not disrupted (C). Treated cells exhibited severely disrupted monolayers. B: Confluent monolayers of PAECs and PMVECs were treated with Texas Red-tagged Sambucus nigra agglutinin (SNA) to identify the presence of α(2,6)-linked sialic acids. Both cell type...
