Certain glycans -- sugar-like compounds with carbohydrate chains -- containing galactose, may exhibit potential prebiotic properties that support human health. Identifying enzymes capable of breaking ...

WHILE a large number of reagents have been developed for the differentiation of carbohydrates by chromatography, there is still some difficulty in showing reducing sugars in many biological ...

The Carbohydrate Group is one of the Royal Society of Chemistry's many Interest Groups. The Interest Groups are member driven groups which exist to benefit RSC members, and the wider chemical science ...

A Tokyo University of Science study identifies a novel β-galactosidase in Bacteroides xylanisolvens that breaks down ...

we have recently obtained new evidence which suggests the existence of the long-sought covalent bond between lignin and carbohydrate in these materials. It appears to be an acetal or hemi-acetal ...

Carbohydrate chains, or glycans, are complex sugar-like compounds that play important roles in various biological processes and structures in our bodies.

It is well documented that exercise performance is greatly influenced by nutrition. The key factor in coping with the heavy demands of exercise faced by elite athletes seems to be carbohydrate intake.
