KCaM (KEGG Carbohydrate Matcher): a software tool for analyzing the structures of carbohydrate sugar chains
KCaM (KEGG Carbohydrate Matcher) is a tool for the analysis of carbohydrate sugar chains, or glycans. It consists of a web-based graphical user interface that allows users to enter glycans easily with the mouse. The glycan structure is then transformed into our KCF (KEGG Chemical Function) file format and sent to our program which implements an efficient tree-structure alignment algorithm, simi...
متن کاملinvestigating the feasibility of a proposed model for geometric design of deployable arch structures
deployable scissor type structures are composed of the so-called scissor-like elements (sles), which are connected to each other at an intermediate point through a pivotal connection and allow them to be folded into a compact bundle for storage or transport. several sles are connected to each other in order to form units with regular polygonal plan views. the sides and radii of the polygons are...
ProfilePSTMM: capturing tree-structure motifs in carbohydrate sugar chains
MOTIVATION Carbohydrate sugar chains, or glycans, are considered the third major class of biomolecules after DNA and proteins. They consist of branching monosaccharides, starting from a single monosaccharide. They are extremely vital to the development and functioning of multicellular organisms because they are recognized by various proteins to allow them to perform specific functions. Our moti...
متن کاملStatistical Significance of Tree Similarity Scores
New methodologies for performing pairwise tree-matching on carbohydrate sugar chain data were introduced in [3], in which well-known sequence alignment algorithms [12] were extended and an already known polynomial-time graph algorithm for finding the maximum common subtree (MCST) of two trees [7] was used to implement what is called the KEGG Carbohydrate Matcher, or KCaM. These new methodologie...
متن کاملMining significant tree patterns in carbohydrate sugar chains
MOTIVATION Carbohydrate sugar chains or glycans, the third major class of macromolecules, hold branch shaped tree structures. Glycan motifs are known to be two types: (1) conserved patterns called 'cores' containing the root and (2) ubiquitous motifs which appear in external parts including leaves and are distributed over different glycan classes. Finding these glycan tree motifs is an importan...
