Preface Protein-carbohydrate interactions are involved in diverse processes required for life, including the microbial degradation of plant biomass and marine polysaccharides and human health and nutrition. Understanding and predicting how carbohydrates are recognized and modified by carbohydrate-active enzymes (i.e., CAZymes) therefore is an important area of basic research that spans multiple disciplines and holds vast promise for informing future innovations in renewable resource utilization and medicine. Since the turn of the millennia, the field of protein-carbohydrate interactions has bee
