Integrating Bioinformatics Tools to Handle Glycosylation

This tutorial is planned for biologists and computational biologists interested in bioinformatics applications to study protein glycosylation. Glycosylation is a co- and post-translational modification that involves the selective attachment of carbohydrates to proteins. The enhancement of glycosylation by applying glycoengineering strategies has become widely used to improve properties for protein therapeutics. In this tutorial, the use of bioinformatics to assist the rational design and insertion of N-glycosylation sites in proteins is described.
