Novel Method Opens Door to Better Understanding Glycan-Protein Interactions

Scientists at the Scripps Research Institute (TSRI) have described a new technique for adding glycans to cells and screening interactions between glycans and proteins. Their study (“ Cell-based glycan arrays for probing glycan–glycan binding protein interactions ”), published in  Nature Communications , may expand research on the roles of glycans in human diseases, including cancers, according to the team.“Glycan microarrays provide a high-throughput m
