Figure 1
Examples of different types of N-glycans shown using the Symbol Nomenclature for Glycans (SNFG). The Greek letters and numbers show the N-glycan linkage naming. (a) High mannose from PDB entry 5fji, a GH3 glucosidase from Aspergillus fumigatus (Agirre et al., 2016BB2). (b) Plant glycan from PDB entry 5aog, a sorghum peroxidase (Nnamchi et al., 2016BB34). (c) PDB entry 3sgk (Ferrara et al., 2011BB24) shows a complex glycan from an Fc fragment of a human antibody, which was in turn expressed in CHO cells. (d) A sialylated complex glycan from PDB entry 4byh (Crispin et al., 2013BB20) expressed in Homo sapiens. This figure was produced with Privateer, which follows SNFG version 3 (Varki et al., 2015BB43).
