Over three days, the participants focused on hands-on glycoscience, applying bioorthogonal labeling techniques and click reactions to investigate the glycosylation of Sulfolobus acidocaldarius. The program was complemented by lectures from UDE members Markus Kaiser, Benjamin Meyer, Bettina Siebers and Laura Kuschmierz, covering N-glycosylation pathways in archaea, chemo-enzymatic synthesis of N-glycans, and glycosyltransferase engineering.
