A few GlycoDraw-related highlights of the upcoming glycowork v1.6 update (dropping in a few weeks): - our very own rendering engine (GlycoDraw for the masses, thanks to glycorender!); - SNFG-gradients; - automated Alt text; - reverse-highlighting; - even more support for highly complex sequences

After 20 years and a recent big overhaul we're finally publishing the carbohydrate 3D structure builders on GLYCAM-Web (glycam.org)! Pre-print: (www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...) #glycotime tools

Nice #glycotime review that pulls together the emerging story of glycosyltransferase specificity for cellular substrates chemistry-europe.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...

I have a PhD position open in my lab! viruses and glycans... who does not love that combo😉. Please share!. #glycotime #lovevirology www.uu.nl/en/organisat...

Polysialic acids are upregulated on activated T cells #glycotime

MagLOV! MagLOV is a fluorescent protein you can "turn off" with a handheld magnet, engineered by @mariaingaramo.bsky.social. We think/hope we can use it to turn arbitrary proteins (including drugs!) on and off in opaque creatures (including humans!). bsky.app/profile/addg...

We have a new preprint on the receptor specificity of 2.3.4.4 H5 viruses. We introduced the hallmark Q226L mutation in several antigenic backgrounds and observed different phenotypes. #H5N1 #glycotime www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Figure 3 needs a strobe effect warning. I find deducing carbohydrate structure from ChemDraw images hard enough, I don't need this! journals.asm.org/doi/10.1128/...
