>> Information Flow

The traditional information flow model proceeds directly from RNA to Protein. The synthesis of vital oligosaccharides and glycoconjugates, however, involves a less direct and more complex flow of information. Genetic information is expressed as enzymes which interact in a non-linear manner with carbohydrate, protein, and lipid building blocks to construct biologyical molecules.
