A schematic depicts a glycoprotein with branched carbohydrate chains attached to specific amino acid residues. Colored symbols represent monosaccharides using SNFG, with complex N-linked glycans (N-glycans) attached to the amide nitrogen of Asn (asparagine) and an O-linked glycan (O-glycan) attached to the hydroxyl of Ser/Thr (serine/threonine). In hierarchy, glycans are molecular moieties on a polypeptide, forming a glycoprotein within cells. In biochemistry and glycobiology, these post-translational modifications (PTMs) modulate protein folding, stability, trafficking, and cell–cell recognition.
