N-glycan
Asparagine-linked carbohydrate modification
N-glycan refers to a carbohydrate chain attached to a protein through the nitrogen atom of an asparagine residue.
These sugar structures are added during protein synthesis and play crucial roles in protein folding, stability, and cell signaling.
N-glycans are central to glycobiology research and pharmaceutical development: The antibody's N-glycan profile affects its therapeutic efficacy.
