Carbohydrates are one of the most abundantly available materials on earth and they are also a source of energy. Glycomaterials are foundational to any biological system, providing basic cell Structure, as well as the means to communicate, adapt to environmental changes and replicate.
In our daily routine, paper products are most widely used glycomaterials and one finds Carbohydrate materials in almost everything we taste and touch.

Polysaccharides are versatile biopolymers which are an essential part of human diet and nutrition. They are extracted from plants and other living organisms which possess biologiclly and pharmacologically active properties.
Detailed understanding of the polysaccharide synthesis, structure, solvation effects, toxicity, structure-property relationships can aid us in tailoring the polysaccharides for specific applications

Computational studies can predict the conformations, thermodynamics, hydrogen bonding and phase behavior. Theoretical charecterization of carbohydrates is critical in establishing structure-property relationships.
Advanced computational approaches like machine learning algorithms in the study of glycans can guide us in design approaches to use them in industrially and academically relavant applications.
