Proteomics > Which service should I request? > Glycan / Glycoprotein analysis
Glycosylation is known as one of the most important and common post-translational modifications across all kingdoms and plays an essential role in nearly all aspects of biology. Examples of supported applications include the identification of glycoproteins (i.e., as indicators of diseases), the profiling of glycans in different type of treated samples, and the identification of N-glycans and of glycosylated peptides (i.e., N-linked glycosylation occupancy).

Glycan / Glycoprotein analysis
General description
We provide support for many glycan and glycoprotein analysis workflows, including the project discussion, the mass spectrometry, and the data analysis.Glycosylation is known as one of the most important and common post-translational modifications across all kingdoms and plays an essential role in nearly all aspects of biology. Examples of supported applications include the identification of glycoproteins (i.e., as indicators of diseases), the profiling of glycans in different type of treated samples, and the identification of N-glycans and of glycosylated peptides (i.e., N-linked glycosylation occupancy).
