Research consortium announces technology to understand complex sugar chains

Published in Gene Therapy Weekly, January 6th, 2005

An international consortium of scientists lead by Dr. James Paulson of The Scripps Research Institute has created a technology that will advance our understanding of the role of complex sugar chains (glycans or carbohydrates) that decorate the surface of cells in the body.

The technology, known as a functional glycan microarray, is a glass slide onto which are printed hundreds of different glycan chains. The array offers scientists a cutting edge research tool allowing them to analyze the specificities of glycan binding proteins (GBP's), which function through their binding to such sugar chains.

The microarray will transform research in the...
