Glycologue
Glycologue is a simulator of glycosylation enzymes, developed by Andrew McDonald
Please choose a simulator from one of the following options
O-glycans | N-glycans (beta) | HMOs | Gangliosides |
Biosynthesis of mucin-type (GalNAc-linked) O-glycans | Biosynthesis of N-linked glycans | Human-milk oligosaccharide (HMO) biosynthesis | Ganglioside (ceramide-linked) biosynthesis |
News
-
[April 2022] Hydrolases simulator added. Glycan and oligosaccharides predicted by the glycosyltransferase simulators can be passed to a set of glycohydrolases for processing.
