Structure Drawing Tools
Draw and save complex lipid structures using either a simple menu-based interface or by entering an abbreviation (where appropriate). Structures are rendered with Javascript / Ketcher and may be saved as molfiles.
Create a Sphingolipid Glycan Structure
Usage
Sugar residues
allowed
Glc, Gal, Man, GlcNAc, GalNAc,
Xyl, Fuc, NeuAc, NeuGc, KDN
Glycan sequence must be in the
format
[sugar (as an
abbreviation)][anomer (either a or b)][linkage in (x-y form)]
Examples
Galb1-4Glcb,
Fuca1-2Galb1-3GalNAcb1-4Galb1-4Glcb, NeuAca2-3Galb1-3GalNAcb1-3Gala1-4Galb1-4Glcb
Branched glycans are designated by
parentheses
GalNAca1-3GalNAcb1-3(Galb1-3GalNAcb1-4)Gala1-4Galb1-4Glcb
