The carbohydrate sequence markup language (CabosML): an XML description of carbohydrate structures [PDF]
Bioinformatics, 2004 Bioinformatics resources for glycomics are very poor as compared with those for genomics and proteomics. The complexity of carbohydrate sequences makes it difficult to define a common language to represent them, and the development of bioinformatics tools for glycomics has not progressed.

Population genetics of Streptococcus dysgalactiae subspecies equisimilis reveals widely dispersed clones and extensive recombination. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2010 Streptococcus dysgalactiae subspecies equisimilis (SDSE) is an emerging global pathogen that can colonize and infect humans. Although most SDSE isolates possess the Lancefield group G carbohydrate, a significant minority have the group C carbohydrate ...

Mutational analysis of the carbohydrate binding activity of the tobacco lectin [PDF]
, 2010 At present the three-dimensional structure of the tobacco lectin, further referred to as Nictaba, and its carbohydrate-binding site are unresolved. In this paper, we propose a three-dimensional model for the Nictaba domain based on the homology between ...

Homology to peptide pattern for annotation of carbohydrate-active enzymes and prediction of function
BMC Bioinformatics, 2017 Background Carbohydrate-active enzymes are found in all organisms and participate in key biological processes. These enzymes are classified in 274 families in the CAZy database but the sequence diversity within each family makes it a major task to ...

Structure- and context-based analysis of the GxGYxYP family reveals a new putative class of glycoside hydrolase. [PDF]
, 2014 BackgroundGut microbiome metagenomics has revealed many protein families and domains found largely or exclusively in that environment. Proteins containing the GxGYxYP domain are over-represented in the gut microbiota, and are found in Polysaccharide ...
