Abstract β-glucans are polysaccharides which can be obtained from different sources, and
which have been described as potential prebiotics. The beneficial effects associated with β …

The microbial decomposition and utilization of lignocellulosic biomass present in the plant
tissues are driven by a series of carbohydrate active enzymes (CAZymes) acting in concert …

The cell walls of pathogenic and acidophilic bacteria, such as Mycobacterium tuberculosis
and Mycobacterium leprae, contain lipoarabinomannan and arabinogalactan. These …

Carbohydrate‐binding modules (CBMs) are non‐catalytic domains that are generally
appended to carbohydrate‐active enzymes. CBMs have a broadly conserved structure that …

Bacteriophages recognize their host cells with the help of tail fiber and tailspike proteins that
bind, cleave, or modify certain structures on the cell surface. The spectrum of ligands to …

The present work aimed at investigating the pattern recognition receptor (PRR) and
immunostimulatory mechanism of a purified Dendrobium huoshanense polysaccharide …

Chondroitin sulfate is a biologically and commercially important polysaccharide with a
variety of applications. Carbohydrate-binding module (CBM) is an important class of …

In 2021, the release of AlphaFold2-the DeepMind's machine-learning protein structure
prediction program-revolutionized structural biology. Results of the CASP14 contest were an …

The influences of glycans impact all biological processes, disease states, and pathogenic
interactions. Glycan-binding proteins (GBPs), such as lectins, are decisive tools for …

Material-binding peptides (MBPs) have emerged as a diverse and innovation-enabling class
of peptides in applications such as plant-/human health, immobilization of catalysts …
