Galectins: Their Network and Roles in Infection/Immunity/Tumor Growth Control 2021
Biomolecules, 2022 Galectins constitute a protein family of soluble and non-glycosylated animal lectins that show a β-galactoside-binding activity via a conserved sequence of approximately 130–140 amino acids located in the carbohydrate recognition domain (CRD) [...]

Advancing Solutions to the Carbohydrate Sequencing Challenge [PDF]
Journal of the American Chemical Society, 2019 Carbohydrates possess a variety of distinct features with stereochemistry playing a particularly important role in distinguishing their structure and function. Monosaccharide building blocks are defined by a high density of chiral centers. Additionally, the anomericity and regiochemistry of the glycosidic linkages carry important biological information.

The carbohydrate sequence markup language (CabosML): an XML description of carbohydrate structures [PDF]
Bioinformatics, 2004 Bioinformatics resources for glycomics are very poor as compared with those for genomics and proteomics. The complexity of carbohydrate sequences makes it difficult to define a common language to represent them, and the development of bioinformatics tools for glycomics has not progressed.
