Chemical and enzymatic modifications of biomolecules are critical for many natural and technical processes. The great complexity of biomolecules, and especially of those containing carbohydrates, such as polysaccharides, glycosylated proteins (e.g., mucins), and peptido-/ proteoglycans, makes analysis of their molecular structures just as much of a challenge as their synthesis. This symposium, sponsored jointly by the CARB, BIOL, ANYL, and CELL divisions and the Glycoscience Convergent Chemistry Community, invites contributions on novel tools, methods, and processes for precise structural modifications of carbohydrate-containing biomolecules, and analysis of their structures. Contexts for these modifications can include natural processes, drug or material development, and analytical applications, to name a few. Example topics of interest: * Post-translational glycoediting of proteins * Regio- and stereo-selective modification of oligo- and polysaccharides * Novel carbohydrate active enzymes (CAZymes) * Precision modification for molecular structure analysis * Control of monosaccharide sequence and analysis thereof * Separation and isolation to molecular homogeneity from complex systems * New and evolving characterization tools in separations, mass spectrometry
