Abstract
Over the last few years enormous interest has been shown in the structures of the glycan moieties of various parasite surface glycoconjugates. Structures have been determined for the glyco-components of glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI) protein membrane anchors, for asparagine-linked oligosaccharides, and for the glycans of complex glycolipids. The following attempts to illustrate a few of the most salient observations with regard to the structures and possible functions of parasite surface glycans.
