In other cases the protein core seems to serve more as a crosslinker of the carbohydrate moieties. This review discusses the types of glycoconjugates implicated in fertilization and the complementary lectin-like proteins found on sperm. 展开 关键词:...
What are the main similarities and differences between the three main food groups, carbohydrates, proteins, and fats? How does the body use fat as a source of energy when not enough energy is available from food? * combining fat with cholesterol to produce energy * transporting cholesterol to ...
Lipids and proteins are both types of what? What type of bonds do lipids have? What are the similarities between cellulose and starch? What makes a lipid a lipid? Identify three atoms that are common to carbohydrates, lipids, and proteins. Explain how the chemical structure varies to create ...
Many species take up mono-, di- and trisaccharides into the cell through porins or transporters, while longer oligosacchar- ides require specialised systems, such as TonB-dependent transporters (TBDTs) or other outer membrane proteins. Usually these have a high specificity to discrete glycan ...
Interestingly, a host of bacterial peptidoglycan fragments have been shown to be recognized by the human immune system as well and bind to nucleotide-binding oligomerization domain-like receptors, or NOD-like receptors. Structural similarities between Cyr1 protein and NOD proteins suggest that these ...
Type, quality, and origin of cereals in diets of poultry and pigs could influence gut microbes and affect their diversity and function, thereby impacting the intestinal function of the monogastric animal. In this review, we focus on the major carbohydrates in cereals that interact directly with ...
The family of glycan receptors such as c-type lectins, galectins, selectins, and siglecs could bind to milk oligosaccharides on intestinal epithelium and immune cells [33]. It has been known that lectin receptors are glycan-binding proteins related to immune response and cell recognition [120,12...

In fact, pulses are currently regarded as functional foods mainly due to the presence of a number of bioactive compounds (fibre, some proteins, resistant starch, phenolic compounds) which, in adequate proportions, support important biological functions such as the stabilization of glycemic and ...
For mammals and even more so for bacteria, the diversity of the monosaccharides used as the building blocks of carbohydrate sequences is significantly larger than that for the residues in proteins or nucleic acids. From the GLYCOSCIENCES.de database a total of 35 different monosaccharides were fou...
