Sucrose Synthase as Cost-Effective Mediator of Glycosylation Reactions (SUSY)
Start date: Sep 1, 2013, End date: Aug 31, 2017,
Glycosyl transferases (GT) are extremely efficient biocatalysts that can be used for the synthesis of special carbohydrates and glycoconjugates. Famous examples of such products include human milk oligosaccharides that serve as prebiotics, and glycosides of flavonoids with improved stability and solubility. Unfortunately, the large-scale application of GT has been hampered by their low operational ...

Tools for the Detection of Novel Glyco-biomarkers (GlycoBioM)
Start date: Jan 1, 2011, End date: Dec 31, 2015,
Glycosylation patterns on glycoproteins and glycolipids are involved in the regulation of inter- and intracellular recognition events and alteration of such glycosylation has been observed in many diseases, notably in a variety of cancers. We propose that a systematic, large scale investigation in this area will provide a rich spectrum of novel and structurally diverse carbohydrate-based highly sp ...

Developing the Next Generation of Biocatalysts for Industrial Chemical Synthesis (BIONEXGEN)
Start date: Feb 1, 2011, End date: Jan 31, 2014,
BIONEXGEN will develop the next generation of biocatalysts to be used for eco-efficient manufacturing processes in the chemical industry. A collaboration by industrial and academic partners have identified the key technology fields of amine synthesis, polymers from renewable resources, glycoscience and wider oxidase application as four key areas where the next generation of biocatalysts that will ...

Development of carbohydrate array technology to systematically explore the functional role of glycans in healthy and diseased states (EuroGlycoArrays)
Start date: Sep 1, 2008, End date: Aug 31, 2012,
The development and production of glycoarrays will provide the foreground knowledge necessary to lead to a step change in the diagnosis and treatment of diseases ranging from cancers to autoimmune diseases. Carbohydrates play a pivotal role in the molecular interactions that govern biological events at the centre of health and disease. This has become more evident as the characterisation and ident ...
