![](https://glycopedia.eu/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/image-4.png)
Serge Perez University of Grenoble Alpes, CNRS, Centre de Recherches sur les Macromolecules Vegetales, Grenoble, France spsergeperez@gmail.com; glycopedia.eu Abstract Polys-Glycan-Builder is a web-based, user-friendly interface for building 3D structures of complex glycans and polysaccharides. The construction follows an intuitive scheme as close as possible to how glycoscientists draw their structures’ sequences. The software translates a […]
Masterclass Glycoinformatics
![presentation1-6.png](https://glycopedia.eu/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/presentation1-6-7b1.png)
Information searching and data extraction are benefitting from the formidable contribution of computational science and technology. To manage data, and to make information accessible to a wider scientific community, publicly available databases and modeling tools for glycoscience have been developed, both in the field of glycochemistry and glycobiology. These tools are reaching maturity and standards […]

The proposed “Master Class in Glycoinformatics” aims at presenting and popularizing existing tools to a large community through practical courses given by leading scientists in the field. Information searching and data extraction are benefitting from the formidable contribution of computational science and technology. To manage data, and to make information accessible to a wider scientific […]

UPDATE July 2016An updated version of the molecular visualization program UnityMol/SweetUnityMol is available. It is fully compatible with the Symbol Nomenclature for Glycan (SNFG) colour coding published in Glycobiology, 2015, 25 (12) 1323-1324. The software has been initially developed based on revision 676 of UnityMol and version4.5.2f1 of Unity3D. All source code was implemented using C# and Cg languages built into Unity […]

Conventions for Pictorial Representation
The representation of monosaccharides can be concatenated using a limited number of structural descriptors to achieve a fairly exhaustive nomenclature which can be further used in constructing three dimensional structures of glycans. The conventions used for the pictorial/pictorial representations of monosaccharides are the following. Residue Letter Name: Rib, Ara, Xyl, Lyx, All, Alt, Glc, Man, […]
