Using Abbreviation

Abbreviation format:

HeadGroup(ShingoidBase/NAcylGroup)

Valid abbreviations for shingoid bases and N-acyl chains are shown in the pulldowns above. Following head groups abbreviations are currently supported: Cer, SM, CerP, PICer, GlcCer, GalCer, LacCer, GM3Cer, GM4Cer, GB3Cer, iGB3Cer, asialo-GM2Cer, Lc3Cer, Manb1-4GlcCer, MolluCer, ArthroCer, MIPCer, MIP2Cer. Select yes from allow arbitrary chain abbreviation list to permit usage of all valid chain abbreviations.

Abbreviation examples:
  • Cer(d18:0/16:0)
  • Cer(t18:0/16:0)
  • Cer(m18:0/0:0)
  • Cer(d19:1(4E)/24:4(5Z,8Z,11Z,14Z))
