• 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.
