AI Article Synopsis
- Glycans are complex molecules with diverse structures and flexible shapes, which increase the variability of the cells or factors they are associated with.
- They play important roles in biological functions and health but are challenging to study due to their complexity.
- There is hope for advancements in glycobiology that may improve our understanding of glycans and their functions in the future.
Article Abstract
Glycans, with their variable compositions and highly dynamic conformations, vastly expand the heterogeneity of whatever factor or cell they are attached to. These properties make them crucial contributors to biological function and organismal health and also very difficult to study. That may be changing as we look to the future of glycobiology.
