CD ComputaBio is a leading computational modelling company that specializes in glycosylation site localization. Our team of experts use state-of-the-art algorithms and cutting-edge technologies to accurately predict glycosylation sites on proteins, offering valuable insights into protein function and potential therapeutic targets.
Introduction of Glycosylation Site Localization
Glycosylation is the process by which carbohydrates are covalently attached to proteins, a crucial post-translational modification that plays a key role in protein folding, stability, and function. Identifying the precise sites of glycosylation on proteins is essential for understanding their biological functions and developing novel therapeutics. However, experimental methods for glycosylation site localization can be time-consuming, expensive, and challenging. At CD ComputaBio, we offer a range of services to help researchers and pharmaceutical companies efficiently predict glycosylation sites on proteins, accelerating the drug discovery process and advancing scientific knowledge.

Our Service
Glycosylation site prediction
Our flagship service involves using computational algorithms to predict potential glycosylation sites on protein sequences. By analyzing various features such as amino acid composition, secondary structure, and solvent accessibility, we can accurately pinpoint potential sites for glycosylation.
Site-specific glycosylation analysis
In addition to predicting glycosylation sites, we also offer in-depth analysis of specific glycosylation sites on proteins. This service provides valuable insights into the functional impact of glycosylation at specific sites and can guide further experimental studies.
Glycosylation site mapping
For clients who have experimental data on glycosylation sites, we offer a service to map these sites onto protein structures. This can help elucidate the spatial distribution of glycosylation sites and provide a more comprehensive understanding of protein glycosylation.
Comparative glycosylation analysis
By comparing glycosylation patterns across different proteins or species, we can identify conserved glycosylation sites and gain insights into the evolutionary significance of protein glycosylation. This service is particularly useful for understanding the functional implications of glycosylation in various biological systems.
