Introduction of Carbohydrates Conformational Optimization
Carbohydrates are essential biomolecules that play a crucial role in various biological processes, including energy storage, cell-cell recognition, and immune response. The conformational structure of carbohydrates determines their interactions with other molecules and ultimately affects their biological functions. By optimizing the conformation of carbohydrates, it is possible to enhance their binding affinity, stability, and specificity, making them more effective in various applications.
