SBS: Serge Perez: The diversity and structural complexity of GlycosAminoGlycan (GAG and ProteoGlycans 'PG)

The diversity and structural complexity of GlycosAminoGlycan (GAG and ProteoGlycans 'PG) constitute a significant part of the ExtraCellular Matrix and Glycocalix. Within the context of a European Cooperation in Science and Technology Action (INNOGLY), scientists of the Glycosaminoglycans (GAG) research community addressed the questions of what remains to be solved to understand the structure and function of GAGs fully and address their role in proteo-glycans  (PG) and further in the glycocalyx and peri- and ExtraCellular matrix. The presentation will discuss those pending issues that will benefit from the development of new approaches, namely in chemistry and biology.
