Book ChapterDOI
Chemistry, Metabolism, and Biological Functions of Sialic Acids
TL;DR: This chapter discusses the chemistry, metabolism, and biological functions of sialic acids and the biosynthesis of N-acetylneuraminic acid is briefly reported and more attention is given to the enzyme reactions modifying this compound.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sialic Acids as Regulators of Molecular and Cellular Interactions
TL;DR: Sialylation leads to increased anti-inflammatory activity of IgG antibodies, facilitates the escape of microorganisms from the host's immune system, and in polymeric form is involved in the regulation of embryogenesis and neuronal growth and function.
Journal ArticleDOI
Achievements and challenges of sialic acid research.
TL;DR: The present state of knowledge in sialobiology, with an emphasis on my personal experience in this research area, is outlined including a discussion of necessary future work in this fascinating field of cell biology.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sialic acids and their role as biological masks
TL;DR: Sialic acids are a group of sugars occurring mainly as components of glycocojugates in higher organisms and the regulation of molecular and cellular recognition is of outstanding importance.
Book ChapterDOI
Sialic Acids in Molecular and Cellular Interactions

TL;DR: The aim of this chapter is to summarize the knowledge about Sias in masking, for example, galactose residues, and to review the progress made during the past few years with respect to Sias as recognition determinants in the adhesion of pathogenic viruses, bacteria, and protozoa, and particularly as binding sites for endogenous cellular interaction molecules.
