Glycosyl acceptor
A glycosyl acceptor is any suitable nucleophile-containing molecule that will react with a glycosyl donor to form a new glycosidic bond. By convention, the acceptor is the member of this pair which did not contain the resulting anomeric carbon of the new glycosidic bond. Since the nucleophilic atom of the acceptor is typically an oxygen atom, this can be remembered using the mnemonic of the acceptor is the alcohol. A glycosyl acceptor can be a mono- or oligosaccharide that contains an available nucleophile, such as an unprotected hydroxyl.
Background
Examples
gollark: So I would probably need to run through the AST and find all the wikilinks, then execute one query to fetch *all* the relevant information, which I think should be faster.
gollark: And pages may contain MANY links.
gollark: Well, yes, they complete in probably a millisecond at most, but the aim is for all sane operations to take under 40ms.
gollark: However, these are not *that* fast and on larger high-link-density pages could increase rendering time substantially, and good rendering performance important?!
gollark: Too bad.
