Abstract: This disclosure describes compositions including fluorophore-conjugated sialic acids and fluorophore-conjugated fucose and methods of making and using those compositions. A fluorophore-conjugated sialic acid may include a cytidine monophosphate activated fluorophore-conjugated sialic acids (CMP-f-SA); a fluorophore-conjugated fucose may include a guanosine 5?-diphosphate activated fluorophore-conjugated fucose (GDP-f-Fuc). Methods of using the compositions include enzymatic incorporation of a fluorophore-conjugated sialic acid or a fluorophore-conjugated fucose or both to label and detect N- and O-glycans on glycoproteins. The compositions and methods may allow for the detection of specific glycans.

Abstract: The present invention relates to the field of information system technology. More particularly, the present invention relates to methods and systems for Real-Time information processing, including Real-Time Data Warehousing, using Real-Time in-formation aggregation (including calculation of the performance indicators and the like) based on continuous homomorphic processing, thus preserving the linearity of the underlying structures. The present invention further relates to a computer program product adapted to perform the method of the invention, to a computer-readable storage medium comprising said computer program product and a data processing system, which enables Real-Time information processing according to the methods of the invention.
