Slot: IUPAC condensed representation (iupac_condensed_representation)

The condensed form of the IUPAC nomenclature for carbohydrates, in which each monosaccharide is written using its three-letter abbreviation and each glycosidic linkage is written in parentheses as an anomeric descriptor followed by the two carbon positions joined. Branches are written in square brackets. This is the notation most commonly used in the glycobiology literature.
