Glycobiology-Essential for Discovery of Gene's Function

doi:10.7523/j.issn.2095-6134.2001.1.011

Abstract

Abstract:

This paper overviews the significance, advances and future direction in the glycobiology field. Special emphasis is given to cell cell adhesion which is mediated by the interaction between carbohydrates and carbohydrates binding proteins (CBP). The roles of carbohydrates in the folding of nascent polypeptides, immune system, and cellular signal transductions are also reviewed. The scope also covers carbohydrates in infections, carbohydrates in diseases,and chemical synthesis/structural analysis of carbohydrates. Finally,the features and future directions of glycobiological research are pointed out by the author.

Key words: carbohydrate, glycobiology, glycomics, glycoconjugate
