This chapter describes the preparation of homogenous N-glycoproteins using in vivo or in vitro manipulation with a special emphasis on incorporating stable isotope labels for inspection by solution NMR spectroscopy. This also includes an introduction to basic solution NMR techniques for characterizing glycoprotein motion. The power of these techniques is highlighted by an analysis of recent breakthroughs in the characterization of the structure/activity relationship of antibody N-glycosylation with a discussion of future opportunities in this area of structural biology.
