I'm reading up on protein modification at the moment and I'm kinda stumped on something. I understand that proteins become glycoproteins through the addition of polysaccharides post-translation, but since all proteins don't undergo this process, I'm wondering how a cell 'knows' that some proteins need to be glycosylated (or insert modification here) while other proteins don't?
Go easy on me if this is an obvious question...I'm only a first year undergrad. :shy:
