Arguments
- glycan
A
glycan_graph
object, or a character string of IUPAC condensed format.- strict
A logical value. If
TRUE
, the glycan must have "concrete" monosaccharides (e.g. "GlcNAc", "Man", "Gal") and linkage information. IfFALSE
, the function is more lenient, checking monosaacharide identities on the "generic" level (e.g. "Hex", "HexNAc") and ignoring linkage information. Default isFALSE
. This is preferred because in most cases the structural resolution could not be high, but we known for sure the glycans are indeed N-glycans.
