作為該領域的領先期刊，《糖生物學》提供了一個獨特的論壇，專門研究糖鏈的生物學功能，包括糖蛋白、糖脂、蛋白聚糖和游離寡糖，以及與糖鏈相互作用的蛋白(包括凝集素、糖基轉移酶和糖苷酶)。糖生物學是生物醫學、基礎科學和生物技術領域研究人員的必讀書。通過提供一個單一的論壇，該雜志旨在改善不同學科的糖苷生物學家之間的交流，并提高該領域的整體知名度。

Established as the leading journal in the field, Glycobiology provides a unique forum dedicated to research into the biological functions of glycans, including glycoproteins, glycolipids, proteoglycans and free oligosaccharides, and on proteins that specifically interact with glycans (including lectins, glycosyltransferases, and glycosidases).Glycobiology is essential reading for researchers in biomedicine, basic science, and the biotechnology industries. By providing a single forum, the journal aims to improve communication between glycobiologists working in different disciplines and to increase the overall visibility of the field.
