Definition

chemical moiety that is the remaining portion of a glycan resulting from its covalent attachment to the side-chain nitrogen of an asparagine or arginine residue

Examples

  • N-glycan moiety attached to an asparagine residue in a monoclonal antibody Fc glycan; N-linked glycan moiety attached to an asparagine residue in a recombinant glycoprotein

Primitive Class

This class is declared primitive and it does not have necessary and sufficient condiftions defined.

Primitive Rationale

This term is expected to remain primitive as the detailed treatment of chemical bonds, structure and formation is outside of the current scope of IOF. Other biological and chemical ontologies should be used for these purposes
