What nomenclature does the CFG use for carbohydrates?
The CFG’s Nomenclature Subcommittee evaluated widely used symbol nomenclatures and consulted with a variety of interested parties. As a result, the committee selected a version originally put forth by Stuart Kornfeld, later adapted by the editors of the textbook ‘Essentials of Glycobiology’ (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Press), and further modified it to fit CFG needs.
