4 Glyconutrients Mentioned in Molecular Biology Class

When I describe glyconutrients, I describe them as essential monosaccharides found on cellular surfaces that are used for cellular communication, recognition, and adhesion.

But today in my Molecular Cellular Biology class we talked about the function and importance of 4 of the 8 glyconutrients INSIDE the cell. Yes! Glyconutrients play an extremely important role in the transportation of peptides and proteins from the nucleus to the membrane. The three glyconutrients mentioned in class are:

N-acetyl glucosamine
N-acetyl galatosamine
Mannose

Brief overview of the making of a protein:

Genes transcribe mRNA through a process that I will not explain here (animation)
mRNA exists nucleus through pores
mRNA gets translated into proteins at RER
N-acetyl glucosamiine attached to asparagine amino acid (process called N-glycosylation)
- helps protein fold, activating protein
- If mannose is attached instead, protein was detected as defective and it gets sent to be degraded (broken down) instead of getting sent through to the next step in the 'protein assembly line'
Protein goes from RER to Golgi Apparatus where it gets O-glycosylated with N-acetylgalactosamine attached to a serine. This signals cell to transport glycosylated protein to the membrane (or beyond it).

The fourth glyconutrient that was mentioned was glucose. We were talking about transporters and the professor used glucose transporter for her example.

Take Advantage of the Power in a Patent

Today the world witnessed the true power of patented technology when i4i Inc. won a patent infringement suit against software giant, Microsoft.

You can read an article about this on Mashable: http://mashable.com/2009/08/12/word-patent/

As it stands, Microsoft (MS) can no longer sell, import, or in anyway distribute Microsoft Word in the United States. Another article I read said MS had to pay i4i Inc. $290 million for damages.

Now that i4i Inc. has defended this patent in court, they are virtually unstoppable in the XML arena.

What if YOU could be like i4i Inc. and own patented technology that everyone wants?
You can! We have over 43 patents worldwide on our advanced glyconutrients product. Recent scientific research indicates that the eight essential monosaccharides found in our glyconutritional product are necessary for proper cellular communication. It is the envy of ALL pharmaceutical and medical research facilities. Additionally, our multivitamin and multimineral product has patents on the hydroponic method and nutrient extractions used to create it. It was the very first multivitamin & multimineral product to be sold that contained ALL ingredients from a plant source.

Like i4i Inc. our patents have already been defended in court! We literally have no competition because no other company can have a glyconutritional product (and everything else that other patents protect us from).
