Glycans are key players in many biological processes. They are essential for protein folding
and stability and act as recognition elements in cell–cell and cell–matrix interactions. Thus …

Glycan structures are common posttranslational modifications of proteins, which serve
multiple important structural roles (for instance in protein folding), but also are crucial …

Carbohydrates are the most abundant natural products. Besides their role in metabolism
and as structural building blocks, they are fundamental constituents of every cell surface …

In the past few decades, our understanding of glycan information‐encoding power has
notably increased, thus leading to a significant growth also in the design and synthesis of …

Carbohydrate recognition is a crucial event in many biological processes, including the
progression of diseases such as AIDS, influenza, and cancer.[1–4] Thus, characterization …

The beginning of the 20 th century marked the dawn of modern medicine with glycan-based
therapies at the forefront. However, glycans quickly became overshadowed as DNA-and …

The view on the significance of the presence of glycans in glycoconjugates is undergoing a
paradigmatic change. Initially mostly considered to be rather inert and passive, the concept …

Carbohydrates, either bound to proteins or in lipids, play essential roles as communication
molecules in many intercellular and intracellular processes. In particular, carbohydrates are …

Glycoconjugates are major constituents of mammalian cells that are formed via covalent
conjugation of carbohydrates to other biomolecules like proteins and lipids and often …

Carbohydrates are essential mediators of many processes in health and disease. They
regulate self-/non-self-discrimination, are key elements of cellular communication, cancer …
