Abstract

Sialome sweet sialome: As sialic acids are involved in many host-pathogen recognition events and are markers of embryonic and malignant tissues, there is great interest in methods for the enrichment and identification of sialylated glycoproteins from complex tissues. Now N-(4-pentynoyl) mannosamine can be used to metabolically label sialylated glycoproteins in living animals, enabling future identification of new biomarkers.
