Structure-guided phage display discovery of antibodies for (S)Tn-glycans in protein context - Nature Chemical Biology Structural studies of certain Tn and STn antigen-targeting antibodies reveal that their VH and VL domains recognize the glycan antigen and the adjacent peptide region, respectively, enabling a VH doma...

"Structural analysis enabled us to convert Tn-specific mAbs into STn-specific mAbs through modification of VH complementarity-determining region 3, demonstrating the versatility of this approach" #glycotime 😎🧪

Hi all!! At some point I passed 1K followers! Time for a re-intro! My name is Fiona! I am originally from Florida, did my postdoc at UCSD now I am a Junior Professor at the University of Freiburg in the Institute for Physical Chemistry, lets connect! I also love the ocean and halloween costumes!

Come for the science. The location is pretty outstanding too.

180 seconds of superb glycosciences from 11 episodes !! and yes, an opportunity to improve your french language for some of them 🙂 www.youtube.com/@GlycoAlps

I know it will be brillant but a little bit too far from Grenoble. I hope to visit during winter.

Covalent Activation of the C‐type Lectin DC‐SIGN We introduce the first covalent activators of a C-type lectin. Using orthogonal functional assays, NMR, MS/MS, and computational modeling, we delineate mechanisms from a functional electrophile-first...

Surprising discovery of a covalent activator of a C-type lectin!
We identified the first covalent small-molecule activators of the human C-type lectin DC-SIGN.
Instead of inhibiting glycan binding, two warheads increased DC-SIGN activity.

Hello bsky 🦋 GlycoShape is now here to give you updates on our glycan 3D database, toolbox, glyco fun-facts and news!

We just updated server, so clear your browser's cache, and build some glycoproteins with us 🍬

We'll have great new tools coming up soon, so follow us for some exciting #glycotime

Are you a postdoc stuck in the US?! Is your research stalled or are you in any way affected by the whims of that unfettered madman? Interested in MD simulations of large biomolecules?!

Consider joining me at the University of Freiburg!
