The Computational Chemistry and Bioinformatics Research Core (CCBRC) provides computations of many kinds to support research on multiple glycoscience topics. Many aspects of glycoscience are amenable to, and can benefit from, computational investigation. Along with supporting researchers in identifying computational approaches to assist them in their research, CCBRC will provide training in computational methods for glycoscience. These training sessions will enable researchers to increase their skills portfolio.
What kinds of calculations are covered?
Structures and properties of small molecules containing sugar moieties
Structures and properties of glycoconjugates such as glycoproteins
Protein-ligand interactions in which either the protein or ligand or both contain glyco groups
Bioinformatics analysis of big data such as the outputs of mass spectrometry of glycoconjugate mixtures
Other bioinformatics, such as for pathway analysis of glycosylation
