Detail of the carbohydrate in immunoglobulin G

As has been stated, IgGs have an oligosaccharide bound to each heavy chain. Here we can see it in detail:

Let's isolate a single oligosaccharide chain, together with the asparagine residue it is linked to.

Colour by residue: Asn, galactose, N-acetylglucosamine, manose, fucose   N-acetyl groups.

This is the oligosaccharide structure:
