Glycosylation of proteins is a ubiquitous biomolecular process. It adds extra functions or modulates existing functions of proteins, thereby affecting a range of cellular processes and diseases. Despite of the complex and dynamical nature of glycan structures, the recent advances both in experiment and computation enable us to investigate their functions based on the dynamical structures at atomic resolution, as exemplified in the “glycan-shield” of SARS-CoV-2 spike protein. In this symposium, we would like to share the cutting-edge challenges in determining functional structures and dynamics of glycans and discuss the potential future collaborations.
