My student's paper on enzymatic remodelling to generate anionic glycan arrays has just been published online in @jbiolchem! Various recombinant glycosyl- or sulphotransferases were employed to prepare glycan motifs tested with various lectins. #glycotime

Today visited Fudan University, Shanghai, and gave a talk as a guest of Prof. Cao (known, e.g., for pGlyco3). Nice interactions, discussion and lunch! Also viewed the campus MS facility.

Much of my working time yesterday was spent „chunking“ worms.
First managing to pour 39 plates from 1L NGM-agar (on Wednesday), plating a bit of E. coli OP50 (on Thursday) and finding worms on old plates, cutting the relevant pieces of agar out & transferring to a new plate (Friday).
