Webinar: Glycome Analysis of Marine Organisms: from Structure to Functions in Interaction
Glycans, present in either glycoproteins or glycolipids, are characterized by much greater structural diversity than other families, due to the almost infinite number of linear and branched monosaccharide sequences that can be generated. Thus, as a result of their structural diversity and their location on the surfaces of all biological systems, glycans occupy a prominent position in research pertaining to finely regulating the intercellular interactions involved in, among others, morphogenesis, embryogenesis, fertilization, infection, and symbiosis.
During this presentation, I will describe several examples of glycome analyses of marine and aquatic organisms, among sponges, corals, tunicates, mollusks, and fishes, using multiple analytical tools. In doing so, I will demonstrate how glycans have played a central role in the emergence of metazoan organisms, and how they continue to contribute to the adaptation of marine and aquatic organisms to their environment.
