Highlights
Carbohydrates are ubiquitous and play an intriguing role inside the cell as well as on the cell surface
In addition to being part of glycan structures on glycoproteins, glycolipids or peptidoglycans, carbohydrates occur as mono- and polysaccharides
Evidence has accumulated indicating that interactions between carbohydrates and particular proteins that recognize them play critical roles in many biological processes, including physiological as well as pathological functions in the cell
Summary
Carbohydrates are ubiquitous and play an intriguing role inside the cell as well as on the cell surface. Evidence has accumulated indicating that interactions between carbohydrates and particular proteins that recognize them play critical roles in many biological processes, including physiological as well as pathological functions in the cell. In this special issue we want to focus on the broader picture of the interactions in the cell that rely on protein-carbohydrate recognition. This book provides an anthology of the importance of protein-carbohydrate interactions in 17 original contributions.
