Surprising discovery of a covalent activator of a C-type lectin!
We identified the first covalent small-molecule activators of the human C-type lectin DC-SIGN.
Instead of inhibiting glycan binding, two warheads increased DC-SIGN activity.

It was a great privilege to chair the ChemBio VII conference (www.chembiovii.es) held in Seville. The organizing committee worked very hard to make the meeting a success. Amazing contributions and discussions in Chemical Biology with colleagues, with the beautiful Seville as a backdrop.
