Summary of information collectable from the structure of the C₆₂H₁₀₄N₄O₄₅compound, reflecting the diversity of questions addressed in glycoscience. Whether information is chemical (upper center), biochemical (upper left), and structural (upper right), it requires functional complements dependent on affinity or screening methods. In this example, C₆₂H₁₀₄N₄O₄₅ is shown to be attached to an immunoglobulin γ (lower center) and its terminal N-acetyllactosamine moiety recognized by galectin 1 and 3 (lower right) and possibly screened with array technologies (lower left).
