Detection of glycosylation and iron-binding protein modifications using Raman spectroscopy (2017)
Journal Article
Ashton, L., Brewster, V., Correa, E., & Goodacre, R. (2017). Detection of glycosylation and iron-binding protein modifications using Raman spectroscopy. Analyst, 5, https://doi.org/10.1039/C6AN02516A

In this study we demonstrate the use of Raman spectroscopy to determine protein modifications as a result of glycosylation and iron binding. Most proteins undergo some modifications after translation which can directly affect protein function. Identi...

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 114(6), 1365-1370. https://doi.org/10.1073/pnas.1619665114

Mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) have recently been shown to play important roles in mammalian host defenses against intracellular pathogens, but the molecular mechanism still needs to be clarified. We confirmed that human MSCs (hMSCs) pre-stimulated... Read More about Guanylate-binding Protein 1 (GBP1) contributes to the immunity of human mesenchymal stromal cells against toxoplasma gondii.
