Genetically encoded chemical crosslinking of carbohydrate

Covalent linkages are engineered between proteins and carbohydrates under biocompatible conditions. Genetically encoding the chemical crosslinking of proteins to carbohydrates offers a solution to address the low affinity and weak strength of protein–sugar interactions.
