Glycosylation

Glycosylation (see also chemical glycosylation) is the reaction in which a carbohydrate (or 'glycan'), i.e. a glycosyl donor, is attached to a hydroxyl or other functional group of another molecule (a glycosyl acceptor) in order to form a glycoconjugate.

Glycosidation

The formation of a glycoside; glycosylation.

Glycosylation

The addition of saccharides to proteins or lipids to form a glycoprotein or glycolipid.

Glycosylation

(organic chemistry) The reaction of a saccharide with a hydroxy or amino functional group to form a glycoside; especially the reaction with a protein or lipid to form a glycoprotein or glycolipid.
