Both proteins and carbohydrates are components in our diet. Simple sugars such as glucose and fructose link with each other by glycosidic bonds and form carbohydrates. On the other hand, amino acids link with e
Many species take up mono-, di- and trisaccharides into the cell through porins or transporters, while longer oligosaccharides require specialised systems, such as TonB-dependent transporters (TBDTs) or other outer membrane proteins. Usually these have a high specificity to discrete glycan structures...
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 ...
There are some similarities and differences in the structure and function of starch and cellulose. Briefly compare these two substances and describe two major differences and two similarities of these substances. Identify three atoms that are common to carbohydrates, lipids, and proteins. Explain how...
Briefly describe the digestion and absorption of dietary lipids. What forms of sugar in when they are absorbed in the small intestine? How does protein metabolism occur? a) What are some of the similarities in the digestive processing of carbohydrates, fats, and proteins? b) How does digestion...

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...
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...

a protease and, significantly for HSV-1, HSV-2 and VZV, a thymidine kinase. Anti-herpes virus agents often show a broad spectrum of activity across the family, a consequence of structural similarities between the functional proteins, although the presence or absence of the thymidine kinase is ...
