GM3 gangliosides have been synthesized via late-stage α-sialylation using a macro-bicyclic sialyl donor. 19F solid-state NMR analysis of the C5-NHTFAc GM3 analog on a model membrane revealed the influence of cholesterol on glycan dynamics.
We present a possible mechanism of electron trapping in Ge-doped SiO2 glass on the basis of first-principles quantum chemical calculations on clusters of atoms modeling the local structures in the glassy system. The calculations suggest that the so-called “Ge(1) and Ge(2)” centers are distinctly different electron centers rather than GeO4− variants and that an electron trapped at an oxygen vacancy site is a promising candidate for Ge(2).
Gangliosides are a family of sialic-acid-containing glycosphingolipids that form dynamic domains (lipid rafts) with proteins in cell plasma membranes (PMs), and are involved in various biological processes. The dynamic behavior...
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
