The chemical basis of blood-group specificity resides in the carbohydrates displayed on the surface of red blood
Question:
The chemical basis of blood-group specificity resides in the carbohydrates displayed on the surface of red blood cells. Carbohydrates have the potential for great structural diversity. Indeed, the structural complexity of the oligosaccharides that can be formed from four sugars is greater than that for oligopeptides from four amino acids. What properties of carbohydrates make this great structural diversity possible?
