Abstract excerpt
Of all the four N-glycosyl chains present in hCG, only one of them at alpha52Asn is located at the alpha/beta subunit interface and is crucial for the biological function of the hormone. The other three are exposed on the surface of the molecule and play only a minor role in the function of the hormone. The alpha52Asn oligosaccharide interacts with five amino acid residues in the beta-subunit, Tyr59, Val62,...
