The glycan alphabet is not universal: a hypothesis

2020-01-16

Abstract excerpt

Several monosaccharides constitute naturally occurring glycans but it is uncertain if they constitute a universal set like the alphabets of proteins and DNA. Based on the available experimental observations, it is hypothesized herein that the glycan alphabet is not universal. Data on the presence / absence of pathways for the biosynthesis of 55 monosaccharides in 12939 completely sequenced archaeal and bacterial g...
