Functional glycomics and glycobiology: an overview.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Glycomics is the study of the biological role of glycans and glycoconjugates, including glycoproteins, glycolipids, proteoglycans, and of protein-glycan interactions. This chapter outlines the scope of functional glycomics, from biological/biomedical significance to technology development.

Advancing glycomics: implementation strategies at the consortium for functional glycomics.
Glycomics-an integrated approach to study structure-function relationships of complex carbohydrates (or glycans)-is an emerging field in this age of post-genomics. Realizing the importance of glycomics, many large scale research initiatives have been established to generate novel resources and technologies to advance glycomics. These initiatives are generating and cataloging diverse data sets n...
متن کاملGlycopeptides as versatile tools for glycobiology.
This review describes the recent advances in the field of glycopeptide and small glycoprotein synthesis. The strategies covered include chemical and chemoenzymatic synthesis, native chemical ligation (NCL), and expressed chemical ligation. The importance of glycopeptide synthesis is exemplified by giving the reader an overview of how versatile and important these well-defined glycopeptides are ...
متن کاملAn Introduction to Bioinformatics for Glycomics Research
Carbohydrates are considered the third class of information-encoding biological macromolecules. ‘‘Glycomics,’’ the scientific attempt to characterize and study carbohydrates, is a rapidly emerging branch of science, for which informatics is just beginning. Glycomics requires sophisticated algorithmic approaches. Several algorithms and models have been developed for glycobiology research in the ...
