  • While all coronaviruses contains these proteins, a subset (HEV, HCV-OC43 and BCV) is now recognized to possess an additional glycopolypeptide (gp65), which is unrelated to S or M. N protein The number of amino acids in the N protein has been determined by cloning and sequencing for MHV strains A59 (Armstrong et al. (pdfroom.com)
  • Among the different CQAs (generally only a few for microbial products and more for mammalian products), a glycosylation profile of a product is well-recognized as a CQA that requires stringent monitoring and control. (chromatographyonline.com)

  • 229 23 81 125 6 + glycosylation, the type of linkage of the glycans (O-linked or N-linked) and the degree to which N-linked high-mannose (simple) glycans have been converted to complex glycans (Table 1). (pdfroom.com)
  • However, in eukaryotic most proteins are post-translationally modified. (neb.com)
  • because of this, relatively subtle shifts in the relative abundance of glycan features can be captured using this approach. (elsevierpure.com)
  • The observed glycomic changes point to changes in protein abundance and protein-specific glycosylation, representing candidate functional biomarkers of PD and associated complications. (amsterdamumc.org)
  • This is an important topic nowadays, as differences in the abundance of some glycan isomers could be the key for the early diagnosis, control or differentiation of certain diseases, such as inflammation or cancer. (whiterose.ac.uk)

  • In systems biology, the composition of glycans cannot be predicted and has to be experimentally elucidated. (dnaxperts.com)
  • These approaches can potentially lead to profound insights about the roles of glycans in nature and how they involve in all aspects of biology, health, and disease. (dnaxperts.com)
  • Straightforward separation of isomers was achieved with the analysis of released glycans, as opposed to the glycopeptides which showed a more complex pattern. (whiterose.ac.uk)
  • A comprehensive "proteogenomic" analysis of the proteins, genes, and RNA transcription involved in pediatric brain tumors has yielded a more complete understanding of these tumors, which are the leading cause of cancer-related deaths in children. (cancer.gov)
