Glycosciences and Monosaccharides

Glycobiology is the study of the arrangement, biosynthesis and biology of saccharides that are extensively dispersed in nature. Sugars or saccharides are essential constituents of all living things and features the several roles they play in biology and are researched in various medical, biochemical and biotechnological fields. The study of glycan structures is also complexed by the absence of a direct pattern for their biosynthesis, conflicting to the case with proteins where their amino acid sequence is identified by their corresponding gene.
