Deskripsi

Attachment of the oligosaccharide Man9GlcNAc2 is required for glycoprotein folding and secretion but synthesizing this compound for structural and functional studies has remained challenging. Here, the authors achieve efficient Man9GlcNAc2 synthesis by reconstituting its biosynthetic pathway in vitro.
