Bioinformatics for glycomics: Status, methods, requirements and perspectives

Abstract: The term 'glycomics' describes the scientific attempt to identify and study all the glycan molecules - the glycome - synthesised by an organism. The aim is to create a cell-by-cell catalogue of glycosyltransferase expression and detected glycan structures. The current status of databases and bioinformatics tools, which are still in their infancy, is reviewed. The structures of glycans as secondary gene products cannot be easily predicted from the DNA sequence. Glycan sequences cannot be described by a simple l… Show more

“…Perhaps even more important, literally hundreds of minor glycans can be detected by MS analysis, but the subsequent annotation and verification of structure is prohibitive. However, progress for developing automatic methods of annotation with sophisticated algorithms is being made (65)(66)(67), and technology advances in sample preparation and analysis will rapidly evolve.…”

“…Data from the PDB, for example, were used to create the GDB:Structures database (11) and the DOUGAL database on glycoprotein structures (12). O-glycosidically modified proteins are collected in O-Glyc-Base (13), whereas antigens from E. coli O-glycans can be found in ECODAB (14). Sugabase (15) provides NMR data that are available for CarbBank structures.…”
