| Abstract | With the support of the Chemistry of Life Processes (CLP) program in the Division of Chemistry, Professors Benjamin Swarts of Central Michigan University and Mary Jackson of Colorado State University are developing chemical tools to investigate a class of complex glycolipids, or sugar-linked lipid molecules, that are present in the cell envelope of hundreds of bacterial species from the suborder Corynebacterineae. These glycolipids, which are referred to as phosphatidylinositol mannosides (PIMs) |
