TL;DR: By interfering with pathogen adhesion, such glycocompounds including glycopolymers, glycoclusters, glycodendrimers and glyconanoparticles have the potential to improve or replace antibiotic treatments that are now subverted by resistance.
Journal ArticleDOI
The structure of secondary cell wall polymers: how Gram-positive bacteria stick their cell walls together.
Christina Schäffer,Paul Messner +1 more
TL;DR: The progress that has been made in understanding the structural principles of SCWPs, which may have useful applications in S-layer-based 'supramolecular construction kits' in nanobiotechnology are discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Emerging facets of prokaryotic glycosylation.
Christina Schäffer,Paul Messner +1 more
TL;DR: Here, the common themes of glycosylation are conceptualised for the major classes of prokaryotic (i.e. bacterial and archaeal) glycoconjugates, with a special focus on Glycosylated cell-surface proteins.
Journal ArticleDOI
Glycobiology of surface layer proteins.
Christina Schäffer,Paul Messner +1 more
TL;DR: First genetic data have shed some light into the molecular organization of the glycosylation machinery in this domain and significant observations concern the occurrence of unusual linkage regions both in archaeal and bacterial S-layer glycoproteins.
Journal ArticleDOI
Surface-layer glycoproteins: an example for the diversity of bacterial glycosylation with promising impacts on nanobiotechnology.
Christina Schäffer,Paul Messner +1 more
TL;DR: The investigation of the S-layer protein glycosylation process at the molecular level, which has lagged behind the structural studies due to the lack of suitable molecular tools, shows that from that work an even more interesting picture of this class of glycoconjugates is emerging.
