## Abstract Hemoglobin (Hb) is not a glycoprotein but can easily by glycosylated by a non‐enzymatic mechanism. Based on some kinetic particularities, consisting in a faster glycosylation of the amine terminal group of the β‐chain located on the allosteric site, a hypothesis of a recognition center

✦ Synopsis
Among saccharides, the antibiotics of the aminoglycoside family are the best-studied class of molecules interacting with RNA. By binding to RNA targets, aminoglycosides act as inhibitors of protein biosynthesis, they interfere with protein-RNA interaction of retroviral regulatory elements, and they inhibit the catalytic action of ribozymes. Here, we survey the available data on molecular structural details of aminoglycoside-RNA interaction.
