It is no wonder that our understanding of complex glycans has developed after that of the chemically simpler polymers like nucleic acids a

It covers the structural aspects of monosaccharides, including linear and cyclic forms, D- and L-configurations, and different representations such as Fischer and Haworth projections. It also discusses the formation of hemiacetals, acetals, and glycosidic bonds, differentiating between reducing and non-reducing sugars.
