| Summary: | In the "post genome" times of the 21st century, the significance of research in sugar chains will greatly increase for both medical research and clinical applications. Genetic manipulation now enables us to make bacteria produce mammalian proteins. However, the outcome never reveals the biological function of the protein, because the bacteria do not produce the same sugar chains as mammalian cells, and these are incomplete. Therefore, it is necessary to recognize and understand the importance of sugar chains. |
