The glycan symbol nomenclature proposed by Harvey et al. in these pages has relative advantages and disadvantages. The use of symbols to depict glycans originated from Kornfeld in 1978, was systematized in the First Edition of "Essentials of Glycobiology" and updated for the second edition, with input from relevant organizations such as the Consortium for Functional Glycomics. We also note that >200 illustrations in the second edition have already been published using our nomenclature and are available for download at PubMed.
哈维等人在本期提出的聚糖符号命名法具有相对的优缺点。符号用于描绘聚糖起源于 1978 年科恩菲尔德，在《糖生物学基础》第一版中系统化，并在第二版中更新，同时还吸收了功能糖生物学会等相关组织的意见。我们还注意到，第二版中已有 >200 个插图使用了我们的命名法，并可在 PubMed 上下载。
