Structure of antibody glycan. Antibody image shows heavy chain in dark blue, light chain in light blue, and glycan in magenta. In glycan schematic, solid lines indicate core glycan consisting of two-branched linked N-acetylglucosamine (GlcNAc; blue rectangle), a mannose (green circle), followed by 2 branched mannoses, each followed by an additional GlcNAc on each mannose. Dotted lines indicate additional sugars that can be added at variable levels, including a core fucose on the first GlcNAc (red triangle), galactoses (yellow circle) to each terminal GlcNAc, sialic acids (pink diamond) to the each galactose, and a bisecting GlcNAc to the core mannose. Antibody structure: PDB 1IGY.
