Glycobiology is the last important frontier in biochemistry. Complexity of carbohydrate research is due to the variety of the structure. In last few years, the determination of carbohydrate structure, especially the carbohydratemoiety of glycocon jugates has been developed rapidly. On the other hand, owing to complexity of structures, carbohydrates become biomolecules carrying large amounts of information. As informational molecules, carbohydrates play essential roles in living organisms, including determination of antigenecity of molecules and phenotype of cells, recognition in many physiological and pathological events, and as signals of dynamic regulations and of regulation on time and space.

Key words: carbohydrates, glycobiology, information, recognition
