Several of the plasma glycoproteins demonstrate specific binding properties, being responsible for the transport of such materials as copper (ceruloplasmin), iron (transferrin), hemoglobin ...
A GREAT number of the proteins that are found in nature have carbohydrate covalently linked to the peptide portion and are accordingly termed glycoproteins. These conjugated proteins are represented ...
In higher organisms, the functions of many proteins are modulated by post-translational modifications (PTMs). Glycosylation is by far the most diverse of the PTM processes. Natural protein production ...
