Sugars are not just a source of energy—they also play a crucial role in how cells communicate, how proteins interact and how materials behave in medicine and industry. But studying these processes is ...

Carbohydrates are ubiquitous. They densely carpet cell surfaces. They are the main component of the extracellular matrix that surrounds cells. They are involved in many aspects of cell-cell ...

Deoxygenation reactions have been used to convert biomass-derived carbohydrates into useful platform chemicals. Now, a method has been described that can selectively excise C–O bonds to produce ...

Natural biopolymers have inspired the development of synthetic analogues that can adopt defined conformations and assemble into 3D architectures. These compounds are mainly based on peptides and ...

Carbohydrates play an important role in energy, digestion, and overall health, but different types of carbs can affect the body in different ways. Dietary guidelines recommend that carbohydrates make ...
