Algorithm

In mathematics and computer science, an algorithm is a finite sequence of mathematically rigorous instructions, typically used to solve a class of specific problems or to perform a computation.

See Glycoinformatics and Algorithm

Bioinformatics

Bioinformatics is an interdisciplinary field of science that develops methods and software tools for understanding biological data, especially when the data sets are large and complex.

See Glycoinformatics and Bioinformatics

Carbohydrate

A carbohydrate is a biomolecule consisting of carbon (C), hydrogen (H) and oxygen (O) atoms, usually with a hydrogen–oxygen atom ratio of 2:1 (as in water) and thus with the empirical formula (where m may or may not be different from n), which does not mean the H has covalent bonds with O (for example with, H has a covalent bond with C but not with O).

See Glycoinformatics and Carbohydrate

Chemical decomposition

Chemical decomposition, or chemical breakdown, is the process or effect of simplifying a single chemical entity (normal molecule, reaction intermediate, etc.) into two or more fragments.

See Glycoinformatics and Chemical decomposition

Chemical reaction

A chemical reaction is a process that leads to the chemical transformation of one set of chemical substances to another.

See Glycoinformatics and Chemical reaction

Chemical synthesis

Chemical synthesis (chemical combination) is the artificial execution of chemical reactions to obtain one or several products.

See Glycoinformatics and Chemical synthesis

Database

In computing, a database is an organized collection of data or a type of data store based on the use of a database management system (DBMS), the software that interacts with end users, applications, and the database itself to capture and analyze the data.

See Glycoinformatics and Database

Enzyme

Enzymes are proteins that act as biological catalysts by accelerating chemical reactions.

See Glycoinformatics and Enzyme

Glycan

The terms glycans and polysaccharides are defined by IUPAC as synonyms meaning "compounds consisting of a large number of monosaccharides linked glycosidically". Glycoinformatics and glycan are carbohydrate chemistry and glycomics.

See Glycoinformatics and Glycan

Glycoconjugate

In molecular biology and biochemistry, glycoconjugates are the classification family for carbohydrates – referred to as glycans – which are covalently linked with chemical species such as proteins, peptides, lipids, and other compounds.

See Glycoinformatics and Glycoconjugate

Glycome

A glycome is the entire complement or complete set of all sugars, whether free or chemically bound in more complex molecules, of an organism. Glycoinformatics and glycome are glycomics.

See Glycoinformatics and Glycome

Glycosylation

Glycosylation is the reaction in which a carbohydrate (or 'glycan'), i.e. a glycosyl donor, is attached to a hydroxyl or other functional group of another molecule (a glycosyl acceptor) in order to form a glycoconjugate. Glycoinformatics and Glycosylation are carbohydrate chemistry.

See Glycoinformatics and Glycosylation

Minimum Information Required About a Glycomics Experiment

The Minimum Information Required About a Glycomics Experiment (MIRAGE) initiative is part of the Minimum Information Standards and specifically applies to guidelines for reporting (describing metadata) on a glycomics experiment. Glycoinformatics and Minimum Information Required About a Glycomics Experiment are Bioinformatics and glycomics.

See Glycoinformatics and Minimum Information Required About a Glycomics Experiment

Monosaccharide

Monosaccharides (from Greek monos: single, sacchar: sugar), also called simple sugars, are the simplest forms of sugar and the most basic units (monomers) from which all carbohydrates are built. Glycoinformatics and Monosaccharide are carbohydrate chemistry.

See Glycoinformatics and Monosaccharide

Nucleotide

Nucleotides are organic molecules composed of a nitrogenous base, a pentose sugar and a phosphate.

See Glycoinformatics and Nucleotide

Nutrition

Nutrition is the biochemical and physiological process by which an organism uses food to support its life.

See Glycoinformatics and Nutrition

Polysaccharide

Polysaccharides, or polycarbohydrates, are the most abundant carbohydrates found in food. Glycoinformatics and Polysaccharide are carbohydrate chemistry.

See Glycoinformatics and Polysaccharide

Post-translational modification

In molecular biology, post-translational modification (PTM) is the covalent process of changing proteins following protein biosynthesis.

See Glycoinformatics and Post-translational modification

Software

Software consists of computer programs that instruct the execution of a computer.
