Carbohydrates are ubiquitous. They densely carpet cell surfaces. They are the main component of the extracellular matrix that surrounds cells. They are involved in many aspects of cell-cell ...

Despite mass spectrometry's success in the identification and characterization of small molecules (Milestone 7), its application to carbohydrates was initially stymied. This was due to their low vapor ...

Complex carbohydrates take longer to digest and are a more stable source of energy than simple carbohydrates. Complex carbs are in foods like pasta and bread. Simple carbs are in foods like table ...

The function of carbohydrates is to provide people with energy. There are different types of carbohydrates, including simple, complex, and refined carbohydrates. Carbohydrates can form part of a ...

Deoxygenation reactions have been used to convert biomass-derived carbohydrates into useful platform chemicals. Now, a method has been described that can selectively excise C–O bonds to produce ...

The Max Planck Institute of Colloids and Interfaces (MPICI) has created a carbohydrate sequence that can fold into a stable secondary structure. To date, self-folding biopolymers had only been ...
