Glycan evolution in response to collaboration, conflict, and constraint.

The Journal of biological chemistry - 8 Mar 2013

Springer Stevan A, Gagneux Pascal

Abstract excerpt

Glycans, oligo- and polysaccharides secreted or attached to proteins and lipids, cover the surfaces of all cells and have a regulatory capacity and structural diversity beyond any other class of biological molecule. Glycans may have evolved these properties because they mediate cellular interactions and often face pressure to evolve new functions rapidly. We approach this idea two ways. First, we discuss...
