Symbolic diagrams are commonly used to depict N- and O-linked glycans but there is no general consensus as to how individual constituent monosaccharides or linkages are shown. This article proposes a system that avoids ambiguities inherent in most other systems and is appropriate for both hand drawing and computer applications. Constituent monosaccharides are depicted by shapes modified to show OAc, deoxy, etc. Linkage is indicated by the bond angle and anomericity by solid (beta) or dashed (alpha) lines.
符号图通常用于描绘N-连接和O-连接聚糖，但对于如何表示单个组成单糖或连接方式，目前尚无普遍共识。本文提出了一种系统，该系统避免了大多数其他系统中固有的歧义，适用于手绘和计算机应用。组成单糖通过修改形状来表示OAc、脱氧等。连接通过键角表示，异头物通过实线（β）或虚线（α）表示。
