Robust Glycan Database
The SimGlycan™ database is a large relational database populated
with fragments of known glycan structures made up of 62 different
monosaccharides. Every glycan in the database is fragmented for each of
the possible fifty one reaction conditions using an intensive
fragmentation algorithm. This ensures that the probable glycan
fragments reported are comprehensive and accurate.
The SimGlycan™ database currently contains 8184 glycans, 5296
biological sources, 3774 glycan compositions, 5620 glycan classes, 204
biochemical reactions, 150 biochemical pathways, 184 glycan related
enzymes and 8143 other database links. The database is continuously
updated as information on additional glycans is published.
Generate Annotated Spectrum
SimGlycan™ highlights the experimental m/z values that match
those of theoretical fragments and generates an annotated spectrum. You
can generate customized annotated spectra based on the area of interest
and export it for sharing the findings with your colleagues. The
spectrum can be switched between Column and Scatter type plots. The
simple interface enables you to zoom into specific plot locations,
specify m/z range to display specific plot sections and also to export
plots as image files.
Accurate Glycan Ranking
All possible glycan structures are ranked and scored based on
our proprietary search and scoring mechanism. The ranking mechanism is
based on calculating the glycan score which is a numerical
representation of how closely the experimental properties (composition
and branching pattern) of the glycan match the properties of the glycans in the database.
