TL;DR: X-ray diffraction analysis of a hydrated N-glycoprotein linkage region model, N1-(2-acetamido-2-deoxy-β- d -glucopyranosyl)acetamide (1) and its N1-benzamido analogue 2 reveals very interesting molecular architecture involving seven hydrogen bonds in both compounds and further stabilization of packing in 2 due to π-π stacking as mentioned in this paper.

TL;DR: It is speculated that the linkage region constituents of the eukaryotic N-glycoproteins appear to fulfill three essential structural requirements: rigidity, planarity, and linearity and these are met by the trisaccharide core and Asn at the linkage area.

TL;DR: In this paper, the structure of 1−N−(β−d−glucopyranosyl)chloroacetamide (1), an inhibitor of glycogen phosphorylase, and the corresponding galactopyranoyl amide (2) have been determined.

TL;DR: The crystal structure of the title compound, C14H25NO11·2H2O, has been determined as mentioned in this paper, and the glucose and galactose residues are in a 4C1 conformation.

TL;DR: The first report on the use of derivatized sugars as co-reactants in glycosidase catalyzed reversed hydrolysis mode of synthesis and the excellent (1→6) selectivity of mung beans β- N -acetylhexosaminidase under transglycosylation and that from Aspergillus oryzae under reversed Hydrolysis would prove to be very useful.
