Scholarly Glycomics Journals

The glycoma may indeed be one of nature's most dynamic entities. "Glycomics, similar to genomics and proteomics, is the systematic study of all cell or organism-type glycan structures" and is a branch of glycobiology. In this sense, "carbohydrate," "glycan," "saccharide," and "sugar" are common terms used interchangeably and include monosaccharides, oligosaccharides, polysaccharides, and variants of these compounds. Carbohydrates consist of a spectrum of [CH2O]n hydrated sugar. Monosaccharides are a carbohydrate that can not be hydrolyzed into a simpler carbohydrate and are oligosaccharides and polysaccharides building blocks. Oligosaccharides are linear or branched chains of monosaccharides connected to each other through glycosidic bonds. The number of units of the monosaccharides may vary. Polysaccharides are glycans consisting of repeating monosaccharides, which are generally larger than ten units in length.
