Glyco3D: a portal for structural glycosciences.

The present work describes, in a detailed way, a family of databases covering the three-dimensional features of monosaccharides, disaccharides, oligosaccharides, polysaccharides, glycosyltransferases, lectins, monoclonal antibodies against carbohydrates, and glycosaminoglycan-binding proteins. These databases have been developed with non-proprietary software, and they are open freely to the scientific community. They are accessible through the common portal called "Glyco3D" http://www.glyco3d.cermav.cnrs.fr. The databases are accompanied by a user-friendly graphical user interface (GUI) which offers several search options. All three-dimensional structures are available for visual consultations (with basic measurements possibilities) and can be downloaded in commonly used formats for further uses.
