title: Control in the N-linked glycoprotein biosynthesis pathway.
abstract: N-linked glycosylation is vital for the development and maintenance of eukaryotic cells. The individual steps of this complex process are slowly being elucidated. In this issue, the Imperiali group further dissects the mechanics of oligosaccharyl transferase using substrate analogs.
