Two synthetic approaches to produce a fragment of a molecule called poly(ADP-ribose).

Caption

Researchers at Gifu University’s Institute for Glyco-core Research have developed two synthetic approaches to produce a fragment of a molecule called poly(ADP-ribose). By developing two ways to synthesize the fragment, researchers may be able to better understand how it contributes to vital functions in the cell.
