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.

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
