This chapter offers a general background for students embarking in glycoscience to grasp an essential component of the field, i.e.
Monosaccharides are the chemical units from which all members of the major family of natural products, the carbohydrates, are built.
The multiple monosaccharide building blocks can be linked to various regio-chemistries and stereo-chemistries, and the resulting glycan be assembled on
It is fully recognized that no symbol system will ever convey a full appreciation of the three-dimensional structures of glycans,
While maintaining the spirit of using the symbolic representation for monosaccharides (and towards glycans) this set of rules provides the
