Parse Linear Code Structures

Source: R/parse-linear-code.R
parse_linear_code.Rd

Parse Linear Code structures into a glyrepr::glycan_structure(). To know more about Linear Code, see this article.

Usage

parse_linear_code(x, on_failure = "error")

Arguments

x

A character vector of Linear Code strings. NA values are allowed and will be returned as NA structures.

on_failure

How to handle parsing failures. "error" aborts when a structure cannot be parsed. "na" returns NA at invalid positions.

Value

A glyrepr::glycan_structure() object.

Examples

linear_code <- "Ma3(Ma6)Mb4GNb4GNb"
parse_linear_code(linear_code)
#> <glycan_structure[1]>
#> [1] Man(a1-3)[Man(a1-6)]Man(b1-4)GlcNAc(b1-4)GlcNAc(b1-
#> # Unique structures: 1
