   Also found in: Dictionary/thesaurus, Encyclopedia, Wikipedia 0.01 sec.
glycosylation /gly·co·syl·a·tion/ (gli-ko″sĭ-la´shun) the formation of linkages with glycosyl groups.
gly·co·sy·la·tion (glk-s-lshn)
n.
The addition of glycosyl groups to a protein to form a glycoprotein.

glycosylation
[glīkə′səlā′shən]
the formation of linkages with glycosyl groups, covalently attaching a carbohydrate to another molecule.

glycosylation [gli-ko″-sĭ-la´shun]
the formation of linkages with glycosyl groups.

glycosylation (glī·kōˈ·s·lāˑ·shn),
n process in which a carbohydrate is covalently attached to another molecule.

glycosylation
the formation of linkages with glycosyl groups.

N-linked glycosylation
attachment of oligosaccharides, synthesized on a dolichol-lipid platform to proteins through the amino acid asparagine spaced close to threonine or serine in the polypeptide sequence.
O-linked glycosylation
attachment of groups of oligosaccharides directly to proteins through the hydroxyl group of threonine.

Comment: ALA has been reported to decrease oxidative stress and to prevent glycosylation of proteins (an early step in the formation of advanced glycation end products).
They have organized the contributions into sections concentrating on glycoprotein and proteoglycan analysis; glycosylation site determination methods; the use of bioinformatic tools for analysis of mass spectrometric data on glycans; analysis of the specific single O-GlcNAc molecule found on nuclear and cytoplasmic proteins; and methods for measuring glycan biomolecular interactions using glycan arrays, mass spectrometry, nuclear magnetic resonance, antibodies, and small molecule inhibitors.
For example, there is a process known as glycosylation that takes place in the human body that helps and accelerates the aging process.
