To date, high resolution X-ray structures of about 30 glycoproteins have been reported that provide some structural information on glycans. Four solution structures of glycoproteins have been described over the past three years. In all four of these cases, it was shown that glycosylation is stabilizing the glycoprotein structures, indicating that this may be a general glycan function.
迄今为止，已报道了约30种糖蛋白的高分辨率X射线结构，这些结构提供了一些关于聚糖的结构信息。在过去三年里，已经描述了四种糖蛋白的溶液结构。在所有这四个案例中，研究表明糖基化稳定了糖蛋白结构，这表明这可能是聚糖的一种普遍功能。
