These compounds function as activated glycosyl carriers in the biosynthesis of glycoproteins and glycophospholipids. Include the pyrophosphates.
Polyisoprenyl Phosphates
Phosphoric or pyrophosphoric acid esters of polyisoprenoids.
Dolichol Phosphates
Phosphoric acid esters of dolichol.
Oligosaccharides
Carbohydrates consisting of between two (DISACCHARIDES) and ten MONOSACCHARIDES connected by either an alpha- or beta-glycosidic link. They are found throughout nature in both the free and bound form.
Polyisoprenyl Phosphate Monosaccharides
These compounds function as activated monosaccharide carriers in the biosynthesis of glycoproteins and oligosaccharide phospholipids. Obtained from a nucleoside diphosphate sugar and a polyisoprenyl phosphate.
Polyisoprenyl Phosphate Sugars
Compounds functioning as activated glycosyl carriers in the biosynthesis of glycoproteins and glycophospholipids. They include the polyisoprenyl pyrophosphates.
Phosphates
Inorganic salts of phosphoric acid.
Carbohydrate Sequence
The sequence of carbohydrates within POLYSACCHARIDES; GLYCOPROTEINS; and GLYCOLIPIDS.
Carbohydrate Conformation
The characteristic 3-dimensional shape of a carbohydrate.
