This article examines the enzymatic pathways involving N-acetylmannosamine (ManNAc), fucose (Fuc), and various glycan components such as N-glycans and O-glycans in humans and Trichomonas vaginalis. It highlights the roles of specific glycosidases and the interactions of monosaccharides like Gal, GlcNAc, and Neu5Ac in glycan synthesis and degradation. Understanding these pathways is crucial for insights into cellular communication and pathogen interactions, particularly in the context of T. vaginalis.
