    Abstract

    Asparagine linked glycans (N-glycans) are important in biological processes. Yet, their structural complexity and lack of databases hinder progress in glycomics and glycobiology. We present a way for in silico generation of very large N-glycan structure databases and their use in high throughput composition and primary structure determination of N-glycans attached to peptides, based on CID (collision induced dissociation) MS/MS (tandem mass spectrometric data). The database and the integrated search engine is called Glyquest and is available to the glycomics community.
