Abstract

Ultra-high sensitivity Fast Atom Bombardment (FAB), Electrospray (ES) and Matrix Assisted Laser Desorption (MALDI) mass spectrometry will be employed on a wide range of collaborative structural programmes in the field of glycobiology. The primary aims are to develop and exploit glyco-proteomics and glycomics methodologies to elucidate the roles carbohydrates play in health and disease and, in particular, to help define the paradigms by which lectin-carbohydrate recognition regulates cellular communication. We also aim to provide structural data to underpin the identification of targets for new drugs and vaccines for the control of pathogens and parasites.
