Structure, Examples and Functions of Proteoglycans, Glycoproteins and Glycolipids (Glycoconjugates)
What are Glycoconjugates? Polysaccharides and oligosaccharides act also as information carrier molecules. Informational carbohydrate is covalently joined to a protein or lipid to form glycoconjugates. As the name suggests, the glycoconjugates are conjugate (joined) molecules of carbohydrates other macromolecules such as proteins or lipids. The present post discusses the structure, […]
