Glycosylation is one of the most prevalent posttranslational modifications that profoundly
affects the structure and functions of proteins in a wide variety of biological recognition …

Chitooligosaccharides (CHOS) are homo-or heterooligomers of N-acetylglucosamine and D-
glucosamine. CHOS can be produced using chitin or chitosan as a starting material, using …

Oligosaccharides together with oligonucleotides and oligopeptides comprise the three major
classes of natural biopolymers. Automated systems for oligonucleotide and oligopeptide …

Synthetic oligosaccharides and glycoconjugates are increasingly used as probes for
biological research and as lead compounds for drug and vaccine discovery. These …

Aims This review is intended to update our previous discussion on the chemoenzymatic
synthesis of carbohydrates and glycoconjugates,(1) with new emphasis placed on …

In recent years, substantial advances have been made in the engineering of glycosidases
and glycosyltransferases for the synthesis and degradation of glycan structures. Key …

Oligosaccharide synthesis is becoming increasingly important to the pharmaceutical
industry because these biomolecules have potential application as therapeutics. Enzymatic …

The many advances in glycoscience have more and more brought to light the crucial role of
glycosides and glycoconjugates in biological processes. Their major influence on the …

Plants have evolved mechanisms to recognize a wide range of pathogen-derived molecules
and to express induced resistance against pathogen attack. Exploitation of induced …

Polysaccharides are the most important renewable polymers on Earth and hold an
enormous potential for the production of ecofriendly functional materials. In addition to being …
