protein folding and glycosylation

Protein folding: It is the process wherein a newly synthesized protein chain rearranges itself in three-dimensional space to attain its functional shape or native conformation. This process is essential for the protein's biological activity and proper functioning. Glycosylation: It is a post-translational modification process in which sugar molecules (glycans) are added to proteins or lipids, forming glycoproteins or glycolipids, respectively. Glycosylation plays crucial roles in protein folding, stability, trafficking, and recognition, as well as cellular communication and signaling.
