Glycoconjugates, molecules in which carbohydrates are covalently linked to proteins, lipids or other scaffolds, occupy a central role in cellular communication, immune recognition and therapeutic ...

Conventional wisdom says that the scaffold in an important class of biological molecules called 'glycoconjugates' is essentially inert. Work by a chemist suggests otherwise. The discovery opens up new ...

Carbohydrates, also known as glycans, are one of the four foundational biological macromolecules, along with nucleic acids, proteins, and lipids. All of these macromolecules have distinct, essential ...
