The diversity of functional groups on sugars that can form glycosidic bonds greatly increases the information content of glycans relative to oligopeptides. Consider three amino acids, A, B, and C. How many tripeptides can be formed from one molecule of each amino acid Now consider three sugars-glucose, glucuronic acid, and N -acetylglu-cosamine. Use shorthand (e.g., Glc[l 4]GlcUA[l 4]GlcNAC) to represent ten trisaccharides with the sequence Glc-GlcUA-GluNAc. Is your list exhaustive
