Bacteria uncover distinct strategy to import rare sugar polymers, crystal structures show
Even though sugars are often framed as simple sources of energy, they also serve as structurally complex and functionally diverse molecules that mediate interactions between organisms. Among these, ฮฒ-1,2-glucans, which are a class of glucose-based polymers, stand out for their va
Even though sugars are often framed as simple sources of energy, they also serve as structurally complex and functionally diverse molecules that mediate interactions between organisms. Among these, ฮฒ-1,2-glucans, which are a class of glucose-based polymers, stand out for their varied and sometimes subtle roles.
