Mucins are large, heavily glycosylated proteins that play critical roles in protecting and lubricating epithelial surfaces throughout the body, especially in the gastrointestinal, respiratory, and reproductive tracts. They are central to host–microbe interactions, immune modulation, and barrier function, and their complex structures and diverse functions make them both scientifically fascinating and technically challenging to study. Mucins serves as a valuable resource for researchers aiming to investigate mucin biology in greater depth, offering a wide range of experimental approaches and analytical strategies. It presents a comprehensive exploration of mucin biology and glycoproteomics, featuring cutting-edge methodologies and insights from leading researchers across the field. Topics span from enrichment and isolation techniques, mucinase characterization, and advanced glycoproteomic workflows to clinical applications such as lectin-based assays and mucin quantification. The chapters delve into innovative tools including CRISPR screens, cell-based mucin arrays, cryoEM, MD simulations, and microscopy, as well as synthetic approaches to mucin glycopeptides and selective sulfation. Special focus is given to mucin interactions with microbiota and pathogens, their roles in innate immunity and inflammatory bowel disease, and emerging technologies like FRET-based screening and glycan/lectin arrays. This multidisciplinary volume integrates biochemistry, microbiology, structural biology, and clinical science, serving as a foundational reference for researchers investigating mucins and their complex biological functions.

After completing studies for the A.B., A.M., and Ph.D. degrees in chemistry at Harvard University, David W. Christianson joined the faculty of the University of Pennsylvania, where he is currently the Roy and Diana Vagelos Professor in Chemistry and Chemical Biology. At Penn, Christianson’s research focuses on the structural and chemical biology of the zinc-dependent histone deacetylases as well as enzymes of terpene biosynthesis. His research accomplishments have been recognized by several awards, including the Pfizer Award in Enzyme Chemistry and the Repligen Award in Chemistry of Biological Processes from the American Chemical Society, a Guggenheim Fellowship, and the Elizabeth S. and Richard M. Cashin Fellowship from the Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Study at Harvard University. Christianson is also a dedicated classroom teacher, and his accomplishments in this regard have been recognized by the Lindback Award for Distinguished Teaching at Penn and a Rhodes Trust Inspirational Educator Award from Oxford University. Christianson has also held visiting professorships in the Department of Biochemistry at Cambridge University and the Department of Chemistry and Chemical Biology at Harvard University. Christianson has served with Prof. Anna Pyle as Co-Editor-in-Chief of Methods in Enzymology since 2015. Dr. Karen N. Allen works at the Department of Chemistry of the Boston University, the Metcalf Center for Science and Engineering
