TL;DR: Structural analysis of the purified human erythrocyte glucose transporter by fast atom bombardment mapping and gas phase Edman degradation confirmed the identity of the clone and demonstrated that the HepG2 and ery Throcyte transporters are highly homologous and may be identical.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that a functional N-linked glycosylation pathway could be transferred into Escherichia coli and opened up the possibility of engineering permutations of recombinant glycan structures for research and industrial applications.

TL;DR: It is shown that low concentrations of xanthurenic acid can act together with pH to induce gametogenesis in vitro, and could form the basis of the rational development of new methods of interrupting the transmission of malaria using drugs or new refractory mosquito genotypes to block parasitegametogenesis.

TL;DR: The human peptide differs significantly from the predicted rat calcitonin gene-related peptide structure in four positions in the amino acid sequence (three effecting charge changes), and the presence of a disulphide bridge and an amide, surmised in the rat work, is proven in the hCGRP molecule as discussed by the authors.

TL;DR: In this paper, the sialyl-Lewis(x) sequence [NeuAcα2-3Galβ1-4(Fucα1-3)GlcNAc], a well-known selectin ligand, is the most abundant terminal sequence on the N- and O-glycans of human ZP.
