aThe biochemical usage is widely established in the literature.
bThe biochemical usage implies the parents 'glycuronose', 'sialose', and 'neuraminose'.
c'Neuraminyl' and 'sialyl' have been used, but are likely to be interpreted as referring to acyl groups; the terms given are more consistent with the terms used for glycosides.
