The structures of acidic glycosphingolipids in colon adenocarcinoma have been analyzed extensively using a number of conventional methods, such as thin-layer chromatography and methylation analysis, and a variety of acidic glycosphingolipids present in the tissues have been reported. However, because

Glycolipids are important components of cellular membranes involved in various biological functions. In this report, we describe the identification of the de novo synthesis of glycosphingolipids by Toxoplasma gondii tachyzoites. Parasite-specific glycolipids were identified by metabolic labelling of parasites with

endo-Glycoceramidase, a membrane-associated family 5 glycosidase, deviates from the typical polysaccharide substrate specificity of other soluble members of the family, preferentially hydrolyzing glycosidic linkages between the oligosaccharide and ceramide moieties of gangliosides. Here we report the first x-ray crystal structures
