Abstract
Carbohydrate-protein interactions underpin wide-ranging aspects of biology. However, such interactions remain relatively unexplored in pharmaceutical and biotechnological applications, in part due to the challenges associated with their structural characterisation, both experimentally and computationally. Knowledge-based approaches have shown great success in the prediction of drug-protein and protein-protein interactions, although have not been comprehensively investigated for carbohydrate-protein interactions. In this work, carbohydrate-protein complexes from the Protein Data Bank were comprehensively obtained and analysed to identify patterns in how carbohydrate-protein interactions are mediated.
