Abstract：
:In the past few years, structural biology has begun to reveal details of some of the receptors and associated interactions responsible for protein-mediated recognition events at the cell surface. Recent data span the fields of cytokine-receptor interactions, cell adhesion molecules and viral infection.

杂志文章,评审abstract：:Mucin-type O-glycosylation is a post-translational modification (PTM) that is predicted to occur in more than the 80% of the proteins that pass through the Golgi apparatus. This PTM is initiated by a family of polypeptide GalNAc-transferases (GalNAc-Ts) that modify Ser and Thr residues of proteins through the addition...
