Hyaluronic acid (HA) is a naturally occurring glycosaminoglycan found in connective tissues of the body, especially in the skin, joints, eyes, as well as the extracellular matrix. Due to its spectacular capacity to hold a lot of water, HA has very strong moisturizing and viscoelastic properties, and it is therefore essential in skin hydration, the […]
What Are Glycan Arrays? Glycan arrays or carbohydrate microarrays are special-purpose analysis instruments used to investigate carbohydrate (glycan)-specific interactions with different proteins or carbon and biological targets1. Similar to DNA microarrays or protein microarrays, a glycan array is a solid support (in most cases, a slide made of glass, but also a microplate) where a […]
Glycoprofiling: Unlocking the Secrets of Glycobiology Introduction Glycoprofiling is an important method of analysis in the fast-developing area of glycobiology. It concerns the characterization and study in detail of the structures of glycans, complex carbohydrates that bind to proteins and lipids by covalent bonds. Such glycan changes are much more than attractive; actually, they are […]
UGT-Assisted Glycosylation in Drug Discovery: Unlocking Potential with GlycoDepot’s 386 Enzyme Library Introduction Enzyme-based glycosylation, in which a sugar chain is conjugated to a small molecular compound, is becoming a transformative technology in present-day drug discovery. It is a biochemical transformation that may enhance the pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic characteristics of a drug candidate, including solubility, […]
What are Carbohydrates? Carbohydrates are an important class of (Glycosaminoglycans) biomolecules containing carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen as the main components, with the general stoichiometry of (CH₂O)n. Carbohydrates provide the primary source of energy essential for life, and they also have important structural roles. Carbohydrates are present in almost all living things and include simple sugars […]
Human milk oligosaccharides (HMOs) are the third most abundant solid human breast milk component behind lactose and lipids, and occur in total concentrations during colostrum of about 20 25 g/L and mature milk of 5 15g /L as reported by several studies, including a 2020 cohort analysis by Pediatric Research. This group of non-digestible carbohydrates […]

The characterisation of high-quality monosaccharides has become a main point of advanced glycochemistry, where the development, synthesis, and functional manipulation of carbohydrates play an important role in both fundamental and applied research in the biosciences. Monosaccharides are the critical molecular platform for all complex glycoconjugates such as glycoproteins, glycolipids, and glycosaminoglycans required for various biological […]
The future development of glycan-based vaccines, cancer immunotherapies, and carbohydrate microarrays for diagnostics also depends on the availability of monosaccharide structurewith a defined stereochemistry and functional group protection. For researchers who focus on these areas, finding available monosaccharides that meet accurate analytical criteria, including high-resolution NMR, mass spectrometry, and purity attributes, is an extreme data […]
If you’re in the business of science, you already know: details matter.
