Modern globalization concepts have now become a crucial part of interdisciplinary science. Currently, this is a well-known approach and gives new ideas, concepts, and connectivity among different science fields. One of the modern and best-studied multidisciplinary filed is Bio-organic Chemistry, which is thecombinatorial product of biochemistry and organic chemistry. It is defined as the field of natural science that deals with the properties, structure, and mechanism of biological molecules and the technique that can help in understanding them, in the principles of chemistry. This concept emerged once it was observed that organic compounds are also synthesized outside the laboratory, and hence it was suggested that both parts of life science are now studied under one concept. Both of these fields have some common characteristics like transformation, catalysis, and designing of new compounds. This subject has the properties of biochemical aspects of organic molecules and shares some common characteristics with organic compounds. This field is considered a versatile and enriched multidisciplinary approach and hence has a wide spectrum of applications, for instance, the discovery of new drugs candidates, man-made molecules, having part in Nanoscience, help in the deeply understanding of nucleic acid chemistry, and providing a recognition concept in molecular and biosynthetic chemistry. This field has a bright future and thus plenty of research opportunities are available to explore the nature, behavior, and structure of different organic and biomolecules.

The development and maintenance of a complex organism composed of trillions of cells is an extremely complex task. At the molecular level every process requires a specific molecular structures to perform it, thus it is difficult to imagine how less than tenfold increase in the number of genes between simple bacteria and higher eukaryotes enabled this quantum leap in complexity. In this perspective article we present the hypothesis that the invention of glycans was the third revolution in evolution (the appearance of nucleic acids and proteins being the first two), which enabled the creation of novel molecular entities that do not require a direct genetic template. Contrary to proteins and nucleic acids, which are made from a direct DNA template, glycans are product of a complex biosynthetic pathway affected by hundreds of genetic and environmental factors. Therefore glycans enable adaptive response to environmental changes and, unlike other epiproteomic modifications, which act as o...
