Amino acid

Amino acids are organic compounds that contain both amino and carboxylic acid functional groups.

See Glycobiology and Amino acid

Biochemistry

Biochemistry or biological chemistry is the study of chemical processes within and relating to living organisms. Glycobiology and Biochemistry are Branches of biology.

See Glycobiology and Biochemistry

Capillary electrophoresis

Capillary electrophoresis (CE) is a family of electrokinetic separation methods performed in submillimeter diameter capillaries and in micro- and nanofluidic channels.

See Glycobiology and Capillary electrophoresis

Carbohydrate

A carbohydrate is a biomolecule consisting of carbon (C), hydrogen (H) and oxygen (O) atoms, usually with a hydrogen–oxygen atom ratio of 2:1 (as in water) and thus with the empirical formula (where m may or may not be different from n), which does not mean the H has covalent bonds with O (for example with, H has a covalent bond with C but not with O). Glycobiology and carbohydrate are carbohydrates.

See Glycobiology and Carbohydrate

Chromatography

In chemical analysis, chromatography is a laboratory technique for the separation of a mixture into its components.

See Glycobiology and Chromatography

DNA

Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) is a polymer composed of two polynucleotide chains that coil around each other to form a double helix.

See Glycobiology and DNA

Erythropoietin

Erythropoietin (EPO), also known as erythropoetin, haematopoietin, or haemopoietin, is a glycoprotein cytokine secreted mainly by the kidneys in response to cellular hypoxia; it stimulates red blood cell production (erythropoiesis) in the bone marrow.

See Glycobiology and Erythropoietin

Gene

In biology, the word gene has two meanings.

See Glycobiology and Gene

Gene expression

Gene expression is the process by which information from a gene is used in the synthesis of a functional gene product that enables it to produce end products, proteins or non-coding RNA, and ultimately affect a phenotype. Glycobiology and gene expression are Biochemistry.

See Glycobiology and Gene expression

Genomics

Genomics is an interdisciplinary field of molecular biology focusing on the structure, function, evolution, mapping, and editing of genomes.

See Glycobiology and Genomics

Glycan

The terms glycans and polysaccharides are defined by IUPAC as synonyms meaning "compounds consisting of a large number of monosaccharides linked glycosidically". Glycobiology and glycan are carbohydrates and Glycomics.

See Glycobiology and Glycan

Glycan-protein interactions

Glycan-Protein interactions represent a class of biomolecular interactions that occur between free or protein-bound glycans and their cognate binding partners.

See Glycobiology and Glycan-protein interactions

Glycolipid

Glycolipids are lipids with a carbohydrate attached by a glycosidic (covalent) bond.

See Glycobiology and Glycolipid

Glycomics

Glycomics is the comprehensive study of glycomes (the entire complement of sugars, whether free or present in more complex molecules of an organism), including genetic, physiologic, pathologic, and other aspects.

See Glycobiology and Glycomics

Glycoprotein

Glycoproteins are proteins which contain oligosaccharide (sugar) chains covalently attached to amino acid side-chains.

See Glycobiology and Glycoprotein

Heparin

Heparin, also known as unfractionated heparin (UFH), is a medication and naturally occurring glycosaminoglycan.

See Glycobiology and Heparin

Mass spectrometry

Mass spectrometry (MS) is an analytical technique that is used to measure the mass-to-charge ratio of ions.

See Glycobiology and Mass spectrometry

Molecular biology

Molecular biology is a branch of biology that seeks to understand the molecular basis of biological activity in and between cells, including biomolecular synthesis, modification, mechanisms, and interactions. Glycobiology and molecular biology are Biochemistry and Branches of biology.

See Glycobiology and Molecular biology

Monosaccharide

Monosaccharides (from Greek monos: single, sacchar: sugar), also called simple sugars, are the simplest forms of sugar and the most basic units (monomers) from which all carbohydrates are built.

See Glycobiology and Monosaccharide

Nuclear magnetic resonance

Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) is a physical phenomenon in which nuclei in a strong constant magnetic field are perturbed by a weak oscillating magnetic field (in the near field) and respond by producing an electromagnetic signal with a frequency characteristic of the magnetic field at the nucleus.

See Glycobiology and Nuclear magnetic resonance

Nucleotide

Nucleotides are organic molecules composed of a nitrogenous base, a pentose sugar and a phosphate.

See Glycobiology and Nucleotide

Oxford English Dictionary

The Oxford English Dictionary (OED) is the principal historical dictionary of the English language, published by Oxford University Press (OUP), a University of Oxford publishing house.

See Glycobiology and Oxford English Dictionary

Protein

Proteins are large biomolecules and macromolecules that comprise one or more long chains of amino acid residues.

See Glycobiology and Protein

Proteoglycan

Proteoglycans are proteins that are heavily glycosylated.

See Glycobiology and Proteoglycan

Proteomics

Proteomics is the large-scale study of proteins.

See Glycobiology and Proteomics

Raymond Dwek

Raymond Allen Dwek CBE FRS FRSC (born 10 November 1941) is a scientist at the University of Oxford and co-founder of the biotechnology company Oxford GlycoSciences Ltd.

See Glycobiology and Raymond Dwek

Recombinant DNA

Recombinant DNA (rDNA) molecules are DNA molecules formed by laboratory methods of genetic recombination (such as molecular cloning) that bring together genetic material from multiple sources, creating sequences that would not otherwise be found in the genome.

See Glycobiology and Recombinant DNA

Rosalind Kornfeld

Rosalind Hauk Kornfeld (1935–2007) was a scientist at Washington University in St. Louis known for her research determining the structure and formation of oligosaccharides.

See Glycobiology and Rosalind Kornfeld

Sugar

Sugar is the generic name for sweet-tasting, soluble carbohydrates, many of which are used in food. Glycobiology and Sugar are carbohydrates.

See Glycobiology and Sugar

Sugar signal transduction

Sugar signal transduction is an evolutionarily conserved mechanism used by organisms to survive.

See Glycobiology and Sugar signal transduction
