A hallmark of protein N-glycosylation is extensive heterogeneity associated with each glycosylation site. In human cells, the constituent glycoforms differ mostly in numerous ways of extensions from a
The outermost cell envelope structure of many archaea and bacteria contains a proteinaceous lattice termed the surface layer or S-layer. It is typically composed of only one or two abundant, often pos
GlycoSuiteDB is a curated database of carbohydrate (glycan) structures sourced from published material. This entry corresponds to a catologue of structures reported in the publication - Characterizati
Glycosylation plays a critical role in the bioactivity of proteins. For example, glycosylation of the SARS-CoV-2 Spike receptor-binding domain affects viral entry into host cells. Similarly, the glyco
