The Role of Host Cell Glycans on Virus Infectivity: The SARS‐CoV‐2 Case
23 Nov 2022
Abstract excerpt
Glycans are ubiquitously expressed sugars, coating the cell and protein surfaces. They are found on many proteins as either short and branched chains or long chains sticking out from special membrane proteins, known as proteoglycans. This sugar cushion, the glycocalyx, modulates specific interactions and protects the cell. Here it is shown that both the expression of proteoglycans and the glycans expressed on the...
