Abstract
Glycosylation is an enzyme directed form of secondary protein modification in eukaryotic and archaeal cell.Glycosylation plays a critical role in determining proteins three-dimensional configuration and structure, function, and stability.
A glycan, or polysaccharide, is a chain like structure containing a number of monosaccharides. Glycans make up Glycoconjugates to makeup the glycoproteins that cover the cell and makeup a cell-surface glycome.
The way these glycan chains are glycosylated has been known to change due to immune responses and disease. For example, Blood Type is known to be a result of differential cell-surface glycomes.
The goal of this workflow is as follows. To simplify mass data retrieval of glycomic data Use already known data from databases in context of experimental data.
