Schematic representation of Endo H or PNGase F cleavages.

(A) Endo H cleaves between the two GlcNAc residues in the diacetylchitobiose core of the oligosaccharide, generating a truncated sugar molecule with one GlcNAc remaining on the asparagines (Asn). (B) Peptide -N-Glycosidase F (PNGase F), is an amidase that cleaves the bond between GlcNAc and asparagine residues of high mannose, hybrid, and complex oligosaccharides from N-linked glycoproteins;
