Special Issue: Carbohydrate-Active Enzymes and Glycobiology: Emerging Frontiers in Science, Medicine, and Industry

The interdisciplinary field of Carbohydrate Science has witnessed groundbreaking advancements in recent years, particularly through the exploration of Carbohydrate-Active Enzymes (CAZymes) and Glycobiology. These domains have not only expanded our understanding of complex carbohydrate structures but have also revolutionized applications in biopharmaceuticals, renewable energy, food technology, and industrial biotechnology. CAZymes, known for their catalytic roles in synthesizing, modifying, and degrading carbohydrates, have emerged as powerful tools for sustainable bioenergy, bio-based materials, and therapeutic development. Concurrently, Glycobiology and Glycochemistry have paved the way for cutting-edge breakthroughs in glycan-based diagnostics, therapeutics, and immunomodulation, offering promising solutions for targeted drug delivery, cancer immunotherapy, and vaccine development. This Special Issue of Trends in Carbohydrate Research (June 2025) aims to showcase the latest developments in CAZyme engineering, glycoengineering, and glycan-targeted innovations, fostering a platform for interdisciplinary discussions that drive scientific and industrial progress.

We invite original research articles, comprehensive reviews, and perspective papers covering (but not limited to) enzyme-based carbohydrate transformations, glyco-therapeutics, computational glycobiology, synthetic glycochemistry, and interdisciplinary applications of CAZymes in healthcare, energy, and material science. Submissions addressing industrial-scale CAZyme applications, glyco-optimized biologics, renewable biofuel production, and glycan-centric precision medicine are highly encouraged. By bringing together leading researchers from diverse disciplines, this Special Issue aims to highlight the transformative impact of Carbohydrate-Active Enzymes and Glycobiology in addressing global challenges in health, sustainability, and bioeconomy.
