Illuminating glycoscience: synthetic strategies for FRET-enabled carbohydrate active enzyme probes (2020)
Journal Article
Singh, M., Watkinson, M., Scanlan, E. M., & Miller, G. (2020). Illuminating glycoscience: synthetic strategies for FRET-enabled carbohydrate active enzyme probes. RSC Chemical Biology, 5(1), 352 - 368

Carbohydrates are synthesised, refined and degraded by carbohydrate active enzymes. FRET is emerging as a powerful tool to monitor and quantify their activity as well as to test inhibitors as new drug candidates and monitor disease.
