1. A method of producing a glycomodified protein, comprising attaching a modified sugar comprising a chemical handle to a GlcNAc residue on a first protein;
- and mixing said first protein with a reporter molecule, carrier molecule or solid support capable of reacting with said chemical handle;
wherein said reporter molecule, carrier molecule or solid support attaches to the protein at said chemical handle, thereby forming a glycomodified protein.
