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

Sugar-based amphiphilic molecules, which contain a hydrophilic sugar headgroup and a hydrophobic segment such as an alkyl chain, can assemble in water depending on their concentration, forming ...

“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 ...

Carbohydrates aren’t just sweet—they’re structurally complex molecules whose 3D shapes can change everything from taste to biological function. Tiny shifts in stereochemistry can turn digestible ...
