Classification of Proteins Shape of the molecules Composition Solubility Function Glycoprotein—Glycans is covalently bound to proteins or peptides. Glycoproteins Versatile functions—enzymes, hormones, interferons, lectins, memberane blocks, blood type recognition Structure characteristics—open or branched chains of sugar moieties composed of several type of sugars, including pentose (D-xylose), hexose (D-galactose), hexose derivatives (N-acetyl-D-glucosamine), sialic acid, etc. C-1 of sugar covalently bound to OH in amino acid side chains, or amide of asparagine. Solubility—most of them are wa
