| Aliases | Glycan Mass Spectral DataBase |
| Description | "Glycomics has lagged far behind proteomics because of analytical difficulties arising from the structural complexity of glycans, such as variations in branching, linkage and stereo-chemistry. Recently, tandem mass spectrometry has revealed that different glycan structures show their own fragment patterns in their collision-induced dissociation (CID) spectra. We are constructing a multistage tandem mass spectral database using a variety of structurally defined glycans, some of which were prepared using glycosyltransferases in vitro. This database offers a novel tool for glycomics research as it enables users to identify glycans very easily and quickly by spectral matching. (cited from the original site)" |
