O-GlcNAcylation was identified in the 1980s by Torres and Hart and modifies thousands of cellular proteins, yet the regulatory role of O-GlcNAc is still poorly understood compared to the abundance of mechanistic information known for other cycling post-translational modifications like phosphorylation. Many challenges are associated with studying O-GlcNAcylation and are tied to the technical hurdles with analysis by mass spectrometry. Over the years, many research groups have developed important methods to study O-GlcNAcylation revealing its role in the cell, and this perspective aims to review the challenges and innovations around O-GlcNAc research and chronicle the work by Donald F.

We evaluated the frequency of Plasmodium falciparum chloroquine resistance transporter (PfCRT) mutations in Ibadan, Nigeria 17 years after the replacement of chloroquine with ACTs for malaria treatment. Fragments of PfCRT gene from genomic DNA of microscopically confirmed P.
