Glycan Structure Chemistry — Linkages & Branching — Hands-on

Deepen your understanding of glycan structure chemistry. This module connects monosaccharide stereochemistry, glycosidic linkages, branching patterns and conformational preferences to how glycans behave in real biological and analytical contexts, preparing you for advanced glycomics, glycoproteomics and glycoengineering work.
