Carbohydrate Workshop

Welcome to the Carbohydrate Crystallography Workshop! This workshop will consist of two main parts. The first part introduces how to model a carbohydrate into crystallographic density, and the second part introduces methods to validate the correctness of a carbohydrate.

Modelling a carbohydrate is an important part of the structure solution process, which traditionally occurs after a good protein model has been obtained. There are a number of methods available to model a carbohydrate into crystallographic density which mainly revolve around the use of Coot. Part 1 looks at modelling the start of an N-glycan chain. Then in Part 2 we can validate how well our attempts at model building have been achieved.

Part 1 - Modelling Carbohydrates

Part 2 - Validating Carbohydrates

Future - Sails
