O-linked Glycosylation Explained
The blueprint for how proteins are formed is encoded in our DNA, but that’s only part of the story. Once a protein is built, it can undergo further modifications through the attachment of various molecules, altering its structure and function. These changes, collectively known as post-translational modifications, play…

Glycosylation: Impact on Health and Disease
Glycans are essential for all life. These are long-chain sugars that are present on proteins, lipids (also known as fats) and nucleic acids, and which make these biomolecules functional. When we think of sugars, our first thought may be about the sugars from food we eat, such as glucose and sucrose.

Glycation: Impact on Health and Disease
The core structure of proteins is built out of amino acids and it is encoded in our DNA. After the proteins are built, they can be further modified in various ways. Some of these modifications are strictly regulated and are crucial for the protein’s function, whereas others are spontaneous and can disrupt its activity…
