Carbohydrate-protein Conjugates
Carbohydrate-protein conjugates are molecules that link carbohydrates and proteins together, forming a more complex molecule. These conjugates have many potential applications in biotechnology and other industries. They can be used to modify proteins, creating "targeted" therapeutics or diagnostics that can be used to specifically target disease-causing cells or molecules. Additionally, these complex molecules can be used to form cell surface receptors that can sense and respond to specific small molecules or proteins, allowing for more precise delivery of medications. Carbohydrate-protein conjugates provide a powerful tool to researchers and industry professionals for creating more powerful and specific treatments for a variety of diseases.
