Composition Transformation

Derivatize and digest saccharides

glypy.composition.composition_transform.derivatize(saccharide, substituent)

For each monosaccharide and viable substituent, attach the specified substituent.

Warning

This function mutates the input saccharide object, because copying objects is expensive. If you want to continue using the underivatized object, create a copy of it using the object’s clone method.

When called on an instance of SaccharideCollection, such as Glycan or GlycanComposition, that type’s _derivatized method will be called for any special book-keeping that must be done. This is a NoOp for Glycan

strip_derivitization()

glypy.composition.composition_transform.strip_derivatization(saccharide)

For each monosaccharide and viable substituent, remove all substituents added by derivatize().

Warning

This function, like derivatize(), will mutate the input saccharide.

When called on an instance of SaccharideCollection, such as Glycan or GlycanComposition, that type’s _strip_derivatization method will be called for any special book-keeping that must be done. This is a NoOp for Glycan
