Abstract | In vitro & in vivo experiments will introduce current research on the biosynthesis, structure & function of protein-bound glycans in different pro- and eukaryotic microorganisms. | ||||
Objective | Participants are familiar with the biosynthesis, structure and function of N-glycans in microorganisms and with the methods for their analysis. | ||||
Content | * Topics: biosynthesis of asparagine-linked glycans in pro- and eukaryotes; structure of glycans in different organisms; methods to analyse the structure of glykans; function of glycans in protein quality control * Introductory lectures * Seminar with presentation and discussion of recent publications * Experiments that exemplify the current research done in the group |
