Glycan structures contain information for the spatial arrangement of glycoproteins in the plasma membrane.
Glycoconjugates at the cell surface are crucial for cells to communicate with each other and the extracellular microenvironment. While it is generally accepted that glycans are vectorial biopolymers, their information content is unclear. This report provides evidence that distinct N-glycan structure...
