Resources List
Below are useful databases for glycans and related glycomaterial
| Resource Name | Description |
|---|---|
| GlyGen: Computational and Informatics Resources for Glycoscience | GlyGen is a data integration and dissemination project for carbohydrate and glycoconjugate related data. GlyGen retrieves information from multiple international data sources and integrates and harmonizes this data. This web portal allows exploring this data and performing unique searches that cannot be executed in any of the integrated databases alone. |
| GlyTouCan | GlyTouCan is the international glycan structure repository. |
| GLYCAM-Web | GLYCAM-Web is produced by the research group of Professor Robert J. Woods in the Complex Carbohydrate Research Center at the University of Georgia in Athens GA. Its purpose is to facilitate quality computer modeling of carbohydrates. |
| Glycosciences.de | The Glycosciences.de web portal provides databases and tools to support glycobiology and glycomics research. |
| KEGG GLYCAN Database | KEGG GLYCAN is a collection of experimentally determined glycan structures, containing all unique structures taken from CarbBank, structures entered from recent publications, and structures present in KEGG pathways. |
| Carbohydrate Structure Database (CSDB) | The Carbohydrate Structure Database is a free curated repository storing various data on glycans of bacterial, fungal and plant origins. |
| UniCarb-DB | UniCarb-DB is one of the largest experimental glycomic MS databases |
| Glycan Library from Glycosciences Laboratory | A list of lipid-linked, neoglycolipids (NGLs) or glycosylceramides oligosaccharide probes from the collection assembled in the course of research in the Glycosciences Laboratory. |
| Carbohydrate-Active enZYmes Database (CAZy) | The CAZy database describes the families of structurally-related catalytic and carbohydrate-binding modules (or functional domains) of enzymes that degrade, modify, or create glycosidic bonds. |
| Expasy resource portal | Expasy is the bioinformatics resource portal of the SIB Swiss Institute of Bioinformatics |
| The Human Metabolome Database (HMDB) | The Human Metabolome Database (HMDB) is a freely available electronic database containing detailed information about small molecule metabolites found in the human body. |
| The O-GlcNAc Database | The O-GlcNAc database is where to match your protein of interest or your dataset to get O-GlcNAcylation information |
