Carbohydrate 3D structure validation

Carbohydrate Structure Suite (CSS): analysis of carbohydrate 3D structures derived from the PDB

Knowledge of the 3D structure of glycoproteins and protein-carbohydrate complexes is indispensable to fully understand the biological processes they are involved in. Carbohydrate Structure Suite is an attempt to automatically analyse carbohydrate structures contained in the PDB and make the results publicly available on the internet. Characteristic torsion angles, glycoprotein sequences and car...

Carbohydrate-carbohydrate interaction prominence in 3D supramolecular self-assembly.

Self-association in water of biologically significant carbohydrate molecules is a controversial topic due to the strong solvation of these molecules in this solvent and the difficulty to experimentally detect these very weak intermolecular forces by biophysical techniques. Herein we report the tremendous ability of amphiphilic carbohydrate molecules to form complex three-dimensional architectur...

Data validation in 3D cadastre

In a cadastre, the 2D parcel is nowadays correctly considered to be a special case of the 3D parcel because the rights and restrictions extend beyond the surface itself. Storing, representing and manipulating a true 3D parcel however has not yet been satisfactorily achieved because of constraints in data modeling and software development. Significant research has been done to identify the best ...

Carbohydrate structure of vesicular stomatitis virus glycoprotein.

The carbohydrate structure of the membrane glycoprotein of vesicular stomatitis virus (New Jersey serotype) has been determined on material purified from virions grown in spinner cultures of BHKzl cells in the presence of [3H]glucosamine. The intact 3H-glycoprotein contains 6 residues of N-acetyl-n-neuraminic acid, 6 of D-galactose, 6 of D-mannose, 2 of L-fucose, and 10 of N-acetyl-n-glucosamin...
