<p>Methods to rapidly produce and identify polysaccharides, and other sugar structures, having enhanced activities, have been developed. The methods include producing a molecule, e.g., a therapeutic molecule, which includes a first, non-saccharide moiety (e.g., a protein, polypeptide, peptide, amino acid or lipid) and a second, polysaccharide, moiety. The method includes: determining the chemical composition and structure of all or a portion of the second moiety, modifying the structure of the second moiety to provide a modified second moiety, and evaluating or screening the molecule having the modified second moiety, e.g., for a biological activity or other chemical or physical property. In some embodiments, the step of determining the chemical structure and composition of the second moiety includes a comparison of one or more properties of the second moiety with a database, e.g., a database which correlates such one or more properties with structure or function of a polysaccharide.</p> |
