When glycan recognition is linked to immune response, you need fine tuning! 😎

Here ⬇️ we show how human Siglecs act as molecular precision tools, recognising the glycan and also the biological environment (or context) these glycans are found in. A 1/5 #glycotime🧵 ⬇️

Schematic representation of the 14 human siglecs, 4 evolutionarily conserved on the left, with low sequence similarity, and 10 on the right sharing a higher sequence similarity to CD33. Siglec-6 is highlighted in yellow as it is the focus of this work. This is Figure 1 in the paper

Too cool to be true? 😎 Nope! GlycoShape ReGlyco runs on PyMol through the GlycoMe interface 🥰😍 check out this fab #glycotime tool from Hiren @glyco.me and Ojas @ojas-singh.bsky.social ⤵️🥳🥳🥳🎉🎉

Well, it turns out that you can actually make PyMOL do quite a lot of stuff. Here's the full workflow, integrating the amazing ReGlyco into PyMOL to re-glycosylate the LDLA linker. There's some serious magic needed to get it running as fast as it is within PyMOL. @elisafadda.bsky.social

Picture this: your fav protein-protein interaction is *entirely* dependent on,
1) glycans 💥
2) the type of glycans 🤯💜
