Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Marine glycans are remarkable molecules, playing a determinant role in biological processes. This Special Issue of Marine Drugs will be dedicated to marine glycans. Participants working in this area are encouraged to contact the Guest Editor, Prof. Amelia Pilar Rauter ([email protected]), with a title and a short abstract of their proposed contribution, until October 31, 2018.
Main topics to be addressed in this issue:
- Marine glycans: Glycosaminogluycans—structure and biological function; sulfated glycans—infection and therapeutics; N- and O-glycans; Polysaccharides and gut microbiota fermentation; etc.
- Marine algae lectins: Glycan recognition, biological activity
- Glycan-based marine natural products—isolation, identification, synthesis, bioactivity
- Marine glycan-based biopolymers
Other topics addressing marine glycan-related areas are also welcome.
Prof. Amélia Pilar Rauter
Guest Editor
