Remove All Substituents from a Glycan

This function replaces all vertex substituents in a glycan structure with empty strings and removes unresolved floating substituents.

Usage

remove_substituents(glycan)

Arguments

glycan

A glyrepr_structure vector or a glycan igraph.

Value

An object of the same representation as glycan with all substituents removed. Graph input retains its vertex IDs and order.

Examples

(glycan <- o_glycan_core_1())
#> <glycan_structure[1]>
#> [1] Gal(b1-3)GalNAc(a1-
#> # Unique structures: 1
remove_substituents(glycan)
#> <glycan_structure[1]>
#> [1] Gal(b1-3)GalNAc(a1-
#> # Unique structures: 1
