Schematic Diagram of a Glycovaccine Construct of Sugar-Polymer Tails

Caption

Caption to Figure: Schematic diagram of a Glycovaccine construct of sugar-polymer tails (shown as red zig-zag lines) connected to a globular protein core (shown in blue). The flexible sugar (carbohydrate) polymers control the physical properties in vaccine formulations and provide a protective cloud (red shade) against protein denaturation and vaccine effectiveness.
