Artificial receptors have emerged as a potent class of synthetic molecules that mimic the selective binding properties of natural lectins in recognising carbohydrates. By utilising a diverse array of ...

Recent advances in both molecular dynamics (MD) simulations and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy have significantly enhanced our understanding of carbohydrate structure and dynamics.

“I’ve been making glycopeptides and glycoproteins for 25 years and have visualized how the sugars might look attached to the protein backbone both in my imagination and numerous cartoon figures,” says ...

When Clay Bennett started his postdoctoral stint in 2005, he thought—“naively,” he admits—that he would spend just a couple of months preparing a few grams of an oligosaccharide before using the ...
