: The N-linked glycosylation pathway is the bestunderstood route to protein glycosylation.. This pathway can be used to illustrate generalprinciples of glycoconjugate structure andbiosynthesis.: The nature of the N-linked glycosylationpathway also provides some insight into thefunctions and evolutionary history
