therapeutic fronts, constitutes a major threat to global public health and man's existence …

The discovery of the glycosphingolipids is generally attributed to Johan LW Thudichum, who
in 1884 published on the chemical composition of the brain. In his studies he isolated …

In the past few decades, our understanding of glycan information‐encoding power has
notably increased, thus leading to a significant growth also in the design and synthesis of …

Lyases are enzymes that catalyze the bond construction and breaking by means other than
hydrolysis or redox reactions. Such enzymes are particular in the sense that they only …
