Abstract excerpt
Glycans are one of the 4 major macromolecules essential for life and are the most abundant family of organic molecules. However, in contrast with DNA and RNA, glycan structures have no template; this results in limited tools to study this challenging macromolecule with a diversity of glycan structures. A central bottleneck in studying glycosylation in vivo is that inhibitors and complete KOs are lethal. In a...
