This study determines the structural basis of substrate recognition and catalysis by FUT8 through crystal structures and simulations, revealing conformational changes and dimerization roles in substrate binding.

This paper identifies a sulfoglycolytic Entner-Doudoroff pathway in Rhizobium leguminosarum that allows growth on sulfoquinovose, producing sulfolactate and contributing to bacterial persistence in soil.

This study identifies trefoil factors as divalent lectins that bind GlcNAc--1,4-Gal disaccharides, contributing to mucus viscoelasticity through non-covalent glycoprotein cross-linking.
