This month's interesting fact about glycoscience is about #glycopeptides made by bacteria and the importance of #carbohydrates in antibiotics.

Recently Dr. Cummings from the @ncfg published the first ever Periodic Table of Monosaccharides. We thought it would be great to have an interactive version of this as a website, and so we built one.

This month's interesting fact about glycans discusses the heavily O-glycosylated (specifically O-GlcNAcylated) protein in the nucleus - RNA Polymerase II.

As the rest of the community, we have excited about #AF3 and have been testing its performance in the reconstruction of glycans and glycosylation. We have found the following limitations users should be aware of:

- The structure of the Asn-linkages is incorrect

- All N-glycans have an a2 arm, while the Man should be in a3

What we suggest is to build the protein with AF3 and to reglycosylate it with ReGlyco at https://glycoshape.org

Elegant study shows how the location and composition of N-glycans (glyco-code) influences protein folding and quality control. Competition between early lectin chaperone and BiP, and the role of UGGT particularly ineteresting.

Excited about the #GlycoNMR summit (online meeting) that is just about to start. #NMR analysis of polysaccharides and glycoproteins. The event runs multiple days on zoom, hosted by the University of Georgia. More info and register: https://mailchi.mp/deff7bbeac2e/join-us-for-the-2023-glyconmr-summit #nmrchat #glycotime

Interesting! L-fucose administration ameliorates the LPS-induced neuroinflammation in the Fut8+/− mice, suggesting that core fucosylation plays a vital role in anti-inflammation. L-Fuc as a potential drug against neuroinflammation?

You have heard of the periodic table of elements-
we present the Periodic Table of Monosaccharides where we attempt to arrange the monosaccharides in a systematic table.

#Glycoscience Community on Mastadon.
Are you attending the Society for Glycobiology meeting in Hawaii? Find us and learn about the work at the NCFG and the Cummings Lab.

1. We are hosting a Satellite meeting on Nov. 5th, entitled: NCFG Tools in Glycoscience, we hope you will be joining us!

2. Come check out our posters at the SFG meeting:
#155, #401, #67, #79, #89, #224, #170, and #225
We have some interesting developments in #glycan #microarrays, #glycomics and other fun stuff!

Our paper "Can #ChatGPT pass Glycobiology" is now live on #Glycobiology https://doi.org/10.1093/glycob/cwad064

In this work Devin and I test chatGPT to answer a range of Glycobiology questions to assess its potentials and limitations, from the point of view of an undergraduate student and as a more expert user.

You may find a few laughs and some inspiration for educational or investigative purposes.

Hope you all enjoy it!
