This paper synthesizes 6-sulfo sialyl Lewisx glycans to identify MERS-CoV's preferred receptor and develops a multivalent inhibitor.

This study identifies a monoclonal antibody that neutralizes HCoV-HKU1 by mimicking sialic acid binding to block receptor engagement.

This paper uses sulfotransferase substrate specificities to enzymatically synthesize keratan sulfate oligosaccharides and investigates their binding properties with lectins and viral proteins.

This paper identifies 9-O-acetylated sialic acids as a ligand for the SARS-CoV-2 NTD, revealing a dual-receptor functionality in the S1 domain that was rapidly selected against.
