For some unique #glycotime: C-man is a rare (but evolutionarily very old[1]) post translational modification of proteins, where the C2 of Trp in W-x-x-W/C sequons are linked to a single man through a C-C bond 🤯 This and its position within the structure stabilises the (unusual for man) 1C4 chair[2]

Cannot hide my joy, relief, excitement being able to share the outcome of persevering (to say the least) collaborative work. So... the MS glyco(proteomics) guidelines are published!! www.mcponline.org/article/S153... Many thanks to @beilstein-institut.bsky.social @glycosmos.bsky.social @sib.swiss

We are excited to share our #glycotime meeting report on the 1st GlyCosmos Symposium & Jamboree in *Glycobiology*! DOI: doi.org/10.1093/glyc... Participants advanced glycan-binding molecule resources through hands-on work on lectin curation and FAIR glycoinformatics within #GlyCosmos.
