How enzymes build ‘sugar trees’

Researchers have used cryo-electron microscopy to elucidate for the first time the structure and function of a very small enzyme embedded in cell membranes. This enzyme builds complex sugar trees that are subsequently attached to other membrane proteins. The findings could accelerate the development of new, protein-based medications. https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2020/02/200227114511.htm
