Abstract Background The complex carbohydrate composition of natural and refined plant material is not known in detail but a matter that is of both basic and applied importance. Qualitative assessment of complex samples like plant and wood tissues requires the availability of a range of specific probes. Monoclonal antibodies and naturally existing carbohydrate binding modules CBMs have been used in the past to assess the presence of certain carbohydrates in plant tissues. However the number of natural CBMs is limited and development of carbohydrate-specific antibodies is not always straightforward. We envisage the use of sets of very similar proteins specific for defined targets like those developed by molecular evolution of a single CBM scaffold as a suitable strategy to assess carbohydrate composition. .
