Glycoproteins articles from across Nature Portfolio

Here, the authors discover small molecules that inhibit glycosylation processes that occur in the Golgi apparatus of cells. The molecules reversibly inhibit formation of elaborate glycan structures without affecting secretion of glycoproteins.

Glycoproteins of the glycocalyx are shown to have the capacity to bend the plasma membrane.

A method to analyze intact glycopeptides on a proteome-wide scale almost doubles the number of confirmed glycoproteins.
