JOINT MEETING OF THE JAPANESE AND AMERICAN CONSORTIA FOR GLYCOMICS ON NOVEMBER 21, 2004
A joint meeting of the Consortium for Functional Glycomics and the Japanese Consortium for Glycobiology and Glycotechnology will be held on November 21, 2004, in Honolulu, Hawaii, after the conclusion of the Annual Meeting of the Society for Glycobiology. This open meeting will be held in place of the normal closed Participating Investigators’ meeting. View the planned agenda for the meeting.
Carbohydrate Database: The glycan structures and search tools provided by Glycominds, Ltd. are now available for public access. There are 847 N-linked, 553 O-linked and 100 glycosphingolipid structures.
Visit the Galectin-3 molecule page created by Core B to get a feel for the integration of data from the Scientific Cores and Participating Investigators.

Dr. Ian Wilson, a CFG Participating Investigator and Principal Investigator of the Joint Center for Structural Genomics (JCSG), noted that both Consortia have an overlapping goal of determining the structures of murine proteins, specifically GBPs in our case. He has offered to set up crystallization arrays of high purity GBPs, which will become candidates for crystallization by the JCSG. If you are interested please contact Dr. James Paulson or your Subgroup leader.
