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

Producing sugars without going through photosynthesis, their main production process on Earth? Scientists have succeeded in ...

UC San Diego School of Medicine researchers announced Tuesday they have discovered a carbohydrate that the SARS-CoV-2 virus uses to latch onto a cellular molecule in the lungs, which has potential ...

“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 ...

Can a carbohydrate actually suck methane, a greenhouse gas, directly out of the air? Researchers at the University of Copenhagen's Faculty of Science are in the process of finding out. Methane gas is ...

Carbohydrate polymers possess the general chemical formula Cn(H2O)m, in that there are generally two hydrogen atoms for every oxygen atom, though the ratio between n and m may vary, and not all ...

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 ...

Dehydration synthesis is the creation of larger molecules from smaller monomers where a water molecule is released. This can be used in the creation of synthetic polymers such as polyethylene ...
