Methods for the Study of Galactofuranose in Mycobacteria
Despite the energy costs associated with deploying furanose sugars over their more stable pyranose counterparts, galactofuranose is prevalent across nature from commensals to human pathogens. However, it is conspicuously absent from human cells, thus establishing its biosynthetic pathways as importa...
