It had previously been demonstrated that the N-linked core high mannose type glycans have identical structures in plants, mammals, and other organisms (19, 20), which are subsequently modified in a number of steps to complex glycans. Native complex glycans in plant proteins can be quite heterogeneous. 

The modification of molecules with saccharides also has the effect of increasing the hydrophilicity of the resultant complex due to the presence of multiple hydroxyl groups. Native glycan modification of proteins functions in much the same manner, because the carbohydrate... 

The following method for carbohydrate conjugation to dendrimers may be used to couple a variety of reducing sugars to amine-dendrimers, including saccharides, longer-chain carbohydrates, and even complex glycans after release from a protein (see Chapter 1, Section 4.6). 

The general types of protein-protein interactions that occur in cells include receptor-ligand, enzyme-substrate, multimeric complex formations, structural scaffolds, and chaperones. However, proteins interact with more targets than just other proteins. Protein interactions can include protein-protein or protein-peptide, protein-DNA/RNA or protein-nucleic acid, protein-glycan or protein-carbohydrate, protein-lipid or protein-membrane, and protein-small molecule or protein-ligand. It is likely that every molecule within a cell has some kind of specific interaction with a protein.
