At CD BioGlyco, we are committed to promoting technological innovations in the field of glycomics and glycoprotein interactions such as DEGL. Among them, our multivalent DEGL construction service accelerates the discovery and analysis of glycan structures and their biological interactions by creating highly diverse glycan libraries encoded with unique DNA sequences. This enables high-throughput screening and detailed structural function analysis. This service is tailored to the specific research needs of clients, providing libraries ranging from thousands to tens of millions of different glycan structures.
The construction of multivalent DEGL is a highly complex and sophisticated process that combines the multidisciplinary knowledge of combinatorial chemistry, molecular biology, and bioinformatics. The technology uses a unique DNA barcode to give each glycan molecule an identity. The polymerase chain reaction (PCR) amplification and next-generation sequencing technology are used to achieve efficient identification of the result of high-throughput screening.
During the process, we use advanced biological methods to connect DNA tags to the DNA starting material. This step is the key to constructing multivalent DEGL, which ensures a stable connection between DNA tags and DNA starting material.
We perform large-scale on-DNA glycan synthesis using the "split and pool" strategy in combinatorial chemistry. In each synthesis cycle, we introduce different glycan reagents to generate glycan molecules with specific structures and diversity by precisely controlling the reaction conditions. Once the 1-cycle compound library has been purified and re-dissolved, it is divided, and the selected glycan undergoes the same operation for an on-DNA conjugation reaction.
Our synthetic platform is highly flexible and scalable, enabling the synthesis of millions to tens of millions of compounds in a library tailored to client needs. By adjusting the synthesis parameters and reaction conditions, we achieve precise control of the glycan structure, length, and connection mode, and provide customized multivalent DEGL services to clients.
During the construction process, we use a variety of methods to control and verify the quality of multivalent DEGL including mass spectrometry (MS) analysis and spectroscopy analysis, liquid chromatography analysis, etc. to ensure the structural correctness and diversity of glycan molecules in the library.

Results: The authors discussed the construction and application of a multivalent DNA-encoded glycan library (MEGL) technology for glycan-binding protein (GBP) analysis. This innovative technology incorporates multiple DNA barcodes paired with diverse glycan structures, enabling high-throughput screening and precise identification of GBP interactions. Experimentally, MEGL demonstrated its efficacy by accurately identifying known GBP-glycan interactions and uncovering novel binding motifs. The results highlight the potential of MEGL to significantly advance the understanding of glycan-mediated biological processes.
