Glycoinformatique
Glycoinformatique, or glycoinformatics in English, is the interdisciplinary field that applies computational methods to the study of glycans, glycoproteins, and the glycome. It aims to represent, store, analyze, and model carbohydrate structures and their biological contexts, enabling integration with genomics and proteomics. The field supports data curation, algorithm development, and software tools for structure elucidation, annotation, and the simulation of glycosylation processes.
A core concern of glycoinformatique is the standardized representation of complex carbohydrate architectures. This includes machine-readable
Applications of glycoinformatique span biomarker discovery, vaccine and therapeutic design, and the engineering of glycoproteins. It
