Our Service
Top-Down Glycan Structure Prediction
Starting from mass spectrometry or other analytical data, we predict the complete glycan structure by working backward and narrowing down the possible structures.
Bottom-Up Glycan Structure Assembly
We build glycan structures from their constituent monosaccharides, considering possible linkages and branching patterns. This is useful when only basic information about the monosaccharide composition is available.
Conformational Analysis
Our service includes the analysis of different conformations that a glycan can adopt, providing insights into its flexibility and potential interactions.
Data Integration and Visualization
Our platform supports seamless integration with various data formats, allowing you to easily upload your data. Once predictions are made, we provide detailed visualizations, such as graphical representations of glycan structures, which facilitate better understanding and interpretation of results.
Sample Requirements and Result Delivery

Approaches toGlycan Structure Prediction
Deep Learning-Based Prediction
Our flagship algorithm utilizes deep learning techniques to analyze complex data sets, learning from known glycan structures to refine prediction accuracy. This approach allows for the discovery of patterns that traditional methods may miss, leading to superior prediction performance.
Bayesian Inference Model
We employ a Bayesian inference model that augments our predictions with a probabilistic framework, allowing us to quantify uncertainty in our glycan structure predictions. This model integrates prior knowledge, making it particularly effective in scenarios with limited data or ambiguous results.
Ensemble Learning Methods
Our ensemble learning methods combine multiple algorithms to enhance prediction robustness and reliability. By aggregating results from various models, we reduce the chances of overfitting and improve the overall accuracy of glycan structure predictions.
