Conformational dynamics and membrane insertion mechanism of B4GALNT1 in ganglioside synthesis
Abstract Glycosphingolipids (GSLs) are crucial membrane components involved in essential cellular pathways. Complex GSLs, known as gangliosides, are synthesised by glycosyltransferase enzymes and imbalances in GSL metabolism cause severe neurological diseases. B4GALNT1 synthesises the precursors to...
