glycoclusters
Taxonomy: Mechanism Branch / Architecture. Workflows sit above the mechanism and technique branches rather than replacing them.
Summary
This review is focused on smaller multivalent structures such as glycoclusters emphasizing carbohydrate-centered and heteromultivalent glycoconjugates.
Usefulness & Problems
Why this is useful
Glycoclusters present multiple carbohydrate units within a single smaller multivalent construct. In this review they are positioned as tools for studying how multivalency shapes carbohydrate recognition.; studying multivalency effects in glycobiology; organizing carbohydrate presentation for receptor recognition studies
