<P> Glycosylation increases diversity in the proteome, because almost every aspect of glycosylation can be modified, including: </P> <Ul> <Li> Glycosidic bond--the site of glycan linkage </Li> <Li> Glycan composition--the types of sugars that are linked to a given protein </Li> <Li> Glycan structure--can be unbranched or branched chains of sugars </Li> <Li> Glycan length--can be short - or long - chain oligosaccharides </Li> </Ul> <Li> Glycosidic bond--the site of glycan linkage </Li> <Li> Glycan composition--the types of sugars that are linked to a given protein </Li>
