GlycoGlyph: An open source glycan drawing and naming tool which enables drawing glycans in SNFG format using either a graphical user interface or from names in CFG linear nomenclature format. When structures are drawn, the application produces both the CFG linear name and the GlycoCT which in turn can be used to get the GlyTouCan ID numbers for ...
Glycan nomenclature is the systematic naming of glycans, which are carbohydrate-based polymers made by all living organisms. In general glycans can be represented in (i) text formats, these include commonly used CarbBank, IUPAC name, and several other types; and (ii) symbol formats, these are consisting of Symbol Nomenclature For Glycans and Oxford Notations.

In contrast, the oligosaccharides themselves are often referred to as paucimannosidic, low mannose, and truncated glycans or other less conventional nomenclature. [4] A simple shorthand nomenclature has been proposed as a convenient way to name the individual paucimannosidic glycan structures, e.g. M3F denotes Man 3 GlcNAc 2 Fuc 1. [6] [7] [8] [9]
N-Linked glycans are attached in the endoplasmic reticulum to the nitrogen (N) in the side chain of asparagine (Asn) in the sequon.The sequon is an Asn-X-Ser or Asn-X-Thr sequence, where X is any amino acid except proline and the glycan may be composed of N-acetylgalactosamine, galactose, neuraminic acid, N-acetylglucosamine, fucose, mannose, and other monosaccharides.
Polymer nomenclature usually applies to idealized representations meaning minor structural irregularities are ignored. A polymer can be named in one of two ways. Source-based nomenclature can be used when the monomer can be identified. Alternatively, more explicit structure-based nomenclature can be used when the polymer structure is proven.
The different types of lipid-linked oligosaccharide (LLO) precursor produced in different organisms.. N-linked glycosylation is the attachment of an oligosaccharide, a carbohydrate consisting of several sugar molecules, sometimes also referred to as glycan, to a nitrogen atom (the amide nitrogen of an asparagine (Asn) residue of a protein), in a process called N-glycosylation, studied in ...
