报告简介: 
  Glycosylation plays a key role in mediating molecular recognition, development, and cell signaling.  Our research group works on developing chemical tools to label, visualize, and manipulate glycosylation.  Here, we present the development of a liposome-based strategy for cell-selective metabolic labeling of glycans and a FRET-based method for protein-specific imaging of cell-surface glycans.  We also Furthermore, we design and synthesize bifunctional unnatural sugars that introduce simultaneously two functional groups into cellular glycans.  The bifunctional sugar analogs are valuable tools for profiling glycan-protein interactions.  Finally, we are interested in developing new imaging modalities for glycan visualization.  A recently developed bioorthogoal Raman imaging technique will be discussed.
