glycosidic glycopeptide conjugation modification
Overview
Glycosidic bonds connect sugars to peptide backbones or side chains, forming glycopeptides and glycoproteins.
Types
- N-linked: To asparagine (beta-N-glycosylamine)
- O-linked: To serine/threonine (alpha/β-O-glycosyl)
- C-linked: To tryptophan (stable C-glycosyl)
Biological Significance
Glycopeptide synthesis enables vaccine development (HIV, cancer), antibody engineering, and glycoproteomics research.
