Adriani Felix just posted two #preLights as part of a wonderful #preprint review initiative led by Marcus Oliveira #UFRJ
1️⃣ Adriani covers work from the Skidmore group, presenting BeHepI as a valuable tool for heparin quality control and structural analysis. Work that paves the way for safer and more effective blood thinners.

Enzymatic access to the rare ΔUA (1→4) Glc 3, 6, N-sulfated heparin disaccharide, implications for heparin quality control - preLights
Breaking barriers in anticoagulant research! BeHepI, a new enzyme, outperforms traditional methods by accurately analyzing key regions of heparin, paving the way for safer and more effective blood thinners.
