Our research delves into the study of diverse glycan lectin systems, exploring their connections to health and disease. We merged methodologies from chemistry, biology, and biomedicine to deeply investigate the roles in immune responses to pathologists from cancer to bacterial and viral infections. Recently, glyco sciences have marked groundbreaking milestones by transforming glycan design, synthesis and analysis of a structural molecular recognition aspects from the atomic to the cell level.

These advances collectively set the stage for fluorescent or advanced glycan-based therapies. This protocol outlines the procedures for acquiring, processing, and analyzing two of the most powerful NMR methodologies employed in the glycan field. These methodologies, saturation transfer difference, and chemical safe perturbation analysis complimentarily offer precise information of the structural and dynamic aspects of molecular recognition of lichens.
