Glycobiology in Lipid Science

Glycans are constituents of numerous bio-therapeutic agents, extending from natural products to molecules established on rational design to recombinant glycoproteins. The glycan constituents of these agents can be important factors of their biological activity and therapeutic efficacy. Glycobiology and Biochemistry comprises a multidisciplinary branch of carbohydrate-binding proteins (lectins), glycolipids  and some other plant proteins that are capable of interacting with endogenous or foreign (macro) molecules.
