Glycosylation

In the realm of carbohydrates, sugar stands out as a ubiquitous player, gracing our taste buds with its sweetness and fueling our bodies with energy. However, sugar harbors a hidden complexity, a chameleon-like ability to transform its structure, known as mutarotation. This fascinating phenomenon, first observed in the 19th century, continues to intrigue scientists and …
