: Later sections provide deep dives into the tools used to study glycans, such as mass spectrometry, glycan microarrays, and NMR. Educational Design
Abstract
Unlike DNA or proteins, which are linear, glycans are branched. This branching allows for immense structural diversity. The "Essentials" cover several key classes:
Many viruses, such as SARS-CoV-2, use a "glycan shield" to hide from the immune system or bind to host receptors National Institutes of Health (.gov) Disease Mechanisms:
