This paper develops a method to determine site-specific O-acetylation in RG-I oligomers using deuterated acetyl groups and tandem mass spectrometry.

This study identifies gram-positive bacterial cell wall components, such as peptidoglycan and lipoteichoic acid, as inhibitors of HSV-1 and HSV-2 infection in vitro and in a mouse model.

This study shows Rho2 in Aspergillus fumigatus enhances cell wall remodeling and stress resistance against granulocyte attacks, improving survival through upregulation of cell wall biosynthesis.
