| Abstract | Protein glycosylation is a ubiquitous post-translational modification that regulates the folding and function of many proteins. Misfolding of protein monomers and their toxic aggregation are the hallmark of many prevalent diseases. Thus, understanding the role of glycans in protein aggregation is highly important and could contribute both to unraveling the pathology of protein misfolding diseases as well as providing a means for modifying their course for therapeutic purposes. Using β-O-linked glycosylated variants of the highly studied Tau-derived hexapeptide motif VQIVYK, which served as a simplified amyloid model, we demonstrate that amyloid formation and toxicity can be strongly attenuated by a glycan unit, depending on the nature of the glycan itself. Importantly, we show for the first time that not only do glycans hinder self-aggregation, but the glycosylated peptides are capable of inhibiting aggregation of the non-modified corresponding amyloid scaffold. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
