Chapter 03

Key References

Abeijon, C. and Hirschberg, C.B. (1992) Topography of glycosylation reactions in the endoplasmic reticulum. Trends in Biochemical Sciences 17, 32–36. This paper discusses the complexity of the glycosylation reactions taking place in the endoplasmic reticulum with particular reference to the need to translocate both proteins and donor sugars from the cytoplasm.
