This IUPAC definition implies that a huge variety of structures can be named glycolipids. Different glycolipid classes exist having various possible backbone molecular structures such as acylglycerols, sphingoid
The glycolipid transfer protein (GLTP) has been linked to many cellular processes aside from its best-known in vitro function as a lipid transport protein. It has been proposed to act as a sensor and regulator of glycosphingolipid homeostasis in cells. Furthermore, through its previously ...
The details of the model and simulation procedures are described in the Methods section. Figure 2a shows the average projected area per lipid, Al, of the DGDG membranes as a function of their separation Dw (see Methods section for the definition of Dw). In the plot, open squares indicate ...

The natural glycan microarray, such as the SGM, is a unique tool to explore the recognition of glycans derived from a biological source by a large variety of GBPs and thus better to understand the function of a glycome, as discussed in Section 2.3. It should be noted that identification ...
3.11.1.1 Definition of Glycolipids Glycolipids, a general term for complex carbohydrates composed of a glycan moiety and a lipid moiety, are generally divided into two categories, glycosphingolipids (GSLs) and glycoglycerolipids, depending on the structure of the lipid moiety (Figure 1). The ...
Here we discuss how atomistic and molecular simulations can be used to shed light on the role of glycolipids in membrane structure and dynamics, receptor function, and other phenomena related to emergence of diseases such as Parkinson's. The cases we discuss highlight the challenge to understand ...
Definition of ‘Glycolipid’ and Subcategories of Glycolipids The term ‘glyco-’ refers to the presence of a ‘glycan’ as part of the compound, which is defined by the glossary from Essentials of Glycobiology (Varki et al., 2009) (available online) as ‘a generic term for any sugar or ...
The present invention relates to the field of synthesizing and biologically evaluating of a novel class of carbohydrate-based vaccines. The new vaccines consist of a multi-modular structure which allows applying the vaccine to a whole variety of pathogenes. This method allows preparing vaccines agains...
