Glycans, with their variable compositions and highly dynamic conformations, vastly expand the heterogeneity of whatever factor or cell they are attached to. These properties make them crucial contributors to biological function and organismal health and also very difficult to study. That may be changing as we look to the future of glycobiology.
糖链具有多变的组成和高度动态的构象，极大地扩展了与其相连的任何因子或细胞的异质性。这些特性使它们成为生物功能和生物体健康的重要贡献者，同时也非常难以研究。随着我们展望糖生物学的未来，这种情况可能会发生改变。
