Carbohydrates are everywhere, in addition to being part of the glycan structure of glycoproteins and glycolipids, carbohydrates also exist in the form of monosaccharides and polysaccharides. More and more evidences show that the interaction between carbohydrates and specific proteins is the core of many important biological processes, including signal transduction, recognition and catalysis, etc. It also plays a major role in development, immunity, infection and cancer. Therefore, these interactions can be used as the target of treatment methods for some diseases, and they also show great potential in the field of food production and processing.
