Main directions of research

Bacterial Polysaccharides Study Group

  • Structure and application of cell wall and capsule polysaccharides of medically important bacteria (Escherichia, Shigella, Yersinia, Enterobacter, Acinetobacter) and phytopathogenic microorganisms (Pseudomonas, Pantoea, Pectobacterium).
  • Degradation mechanisms of bacterial polysaccharides by bacteriophage depolymerases — potential antibacterial agents.
  • Synthesis of conjugates based on oligosaccharide fragments of bacterial polysaccharides as potential vaccines.
  • Development of new methods for the structural analysis of natural complex carbohydrates.

 

Glycoinformatics group

The group's efforts are aimed on enriched carbohydrate science with all the power of modern computer technologies, providing scientists with easy access to data, creating services for generalizing knowledge, modeling glycomic objects and predicting their properties, and developing the information technologies necessary for this. Current areas of the work:

 

  • Glycoinformatics platform “Carbohydrate Structure Database” [http://csdb.glycoscience.ru], as the basis for web services and a complete, regularly updated curated database of natural carbohydrates of prokaryotic, fungal and vegetable origin;
  • Сurated glycosyltransferase database [http://csdb.glycoscience.ru/gt.html] for the three most studied species of bacteria, plants and fungi;
  • Сhemical shift model, a new approach to spectrum prediction, 1D and 2D NMR simulation service for carbohydrates and their derivatives with unprecedented average accuracy of 0.6 (13C) and 0.07 (1H) ppm. (GODDESS [http://csdb.glycoscience.ru/goddess.html]);
  • Model and web service for predicting the primary structure of carbohydrates from NMR spectra and other easily obtained experimental data (GRASS [http://csdb.glycoscience.ru/grass.html]).

 

Biocide Study Group

  • Synthesis of new cationic biocides, in particular quaternary ammonium compounds (QACs), which have broad antibacterial, antifungal and antiviral effects;

  • Quantitative structure–activity relationship study of new type QACs, directed synthesis of target molecules;

 

  • Creation of new antiseptic formulations based on hit-compounds.
