Glycoscience assembles all the scientific disciplines involved in studying various molecules
and macromolecules containing carbohydrates and complex glycans. Such an ensemble …

All living systems are comprised of four fundamental classes of macromolecules–nucleic
acids, proteins, lipids, and carbohydrates (glycans). Glycans play a unique role of joining …

Abstract The Carbohydrate Structure Databases (CSDBs, http://csdb. glycoscience. ru) store
structural, bibliographic, taxonomic, NMR spectroscopic, and other data on natural …

The complex and dynamic compositions of biofilms, along with their sophisticated structural
assembly mechanisms, endow them with exceptional capabilities to thrive in diverse …

This review is the sixth update of the original article published in 1999 on the application of
MALDI mass spectrometry to the analysis of carbohydrates and glycoconjugates and brings …

Glycans are known as the third major class of biopolymers, next to DNA and proteins. They
cover the surfaces of many cells, serving as the 'face'of cells, whereby other biomolecules …

The use of natural polysaccharides as biomaterials is gaining importance in tissue
engineering due to their inherent biocompatibility. In this direction, the present study aims to …

Analysis and systematization of accumulated data on carbohydrate structural diversity is a
subject of great interest for structural glycobiology. Despite being a challenging task …

Motivation: Over the last decades several glycomics-based bioinformatics resources and
databases have been created and released to the public. Unfortunately, there is no common …

Kdo (3-deoxy-d-manno-oct-2-ulosonic acid) is an eight-carbon sugar mostly confined to
Gram-negative bacteria. It is often involved in attaching surface polysaccharides to their lipid …
