Do reducing sugars exist in glycans?
« on: May 02, 2012, 10:58:32 PM »
So do reducing sugars exist in glycans, or is ever anomeric -O covalently bonded to something else?  I'm not talking about glycans that are cleaved off of glycoproteins or the cell surface, but rather if there are any examples known of glycans that contain a reducing sugar while still attached to a protein or on the cell surface somewhere.
