Biologists uncover how key carbohydrate-attachment mechanism malfunctions - EurekAlert
One of the most essential bodily biochemical processes involves glycans (sugar chains) attaching themselves to proteins and fats, and when this process malfunctions, the risk of contracting a raft of diseases sharply increases. Researchers have recently discovered how a crucial enzyme’s recognition of a small structure in glycans and how the small structure affects overall process of glycan biosynthesis.
