Like many proteins that do their jobs outside of cells, immunoglobulin G is a glycoprotein. The oligosaccharide chains are attached to the “stem” of the Y-shaped molecule and are believed to help protect the protein. Based on your understanding of carbohydrates, explain why it would not make sense for the immunoglobulin’s two antigen-binding arms to have attached oligosaccharides
