To understand glycan functions, it is essential to get basic information about complex glycan structures. For this purpose, we are developing a "glycan profiler" under the concept that lectins are "decoderproteins for glycomics". FAC (frontal affinity chromatography) is the first choice for precise determination of affinity constants between lectins and glycans in a highly sensitive and high-throughput manner.
