Journal of Glycomics and Metabolism

The journal publishes research on how glycans are built, recognized and degraded, and on the metabolic networks that connect them, from the molecule to the organism, including the molecular mechanisms of glycosylation and metabolic disorders. Research areas include:

• Glycan structure and biosynthesis

  Glycosyltransferases and glycosidases, N- and O-glycan assembly, and nucleotide-sugar metabolism.

• Glycoproteins and glycoproteomics

  Site-specific glycosylation, glycoprotein folding and quality control, and post-translational crosstalk.

• Glycan recognition

  Lectins, glycosaminoglycans and carbohydrate-binding proteins in signaling and host-microbe interactions.

• Metabolic pathways and regulation

  Carbohydrate, lipid and amino acid metabolism, nutrient sensing and metabolic flux.

• Analytical and computational methods

  Mass spectrometry, NMR, glycan arrays, metabolomics, isotope tracing and glycoinformatics.

• Glycosylation and metabolic disorders

  Molecular mechanisms of congenital disorders of glycosylation, inborn errors of metabolism and metabolic syndrome.

These areas are illustrative. Read the full Aims and Scope.
