The purpose of this review is to provide updated information regarding bioinformatic software for the use in the characterization of glycosylated structures since 2013. A comprehensive review by Woodin 138: 2793-2803, 2013 (ref. 1) described two main approaches that are introduced for starting researchers in this area; analysis of released glycans and the identification of glycopeptide in enzymatic digests, respectively. Complementary to that report, this review focuses on mass spectrometry related bioinformatics tools for the characterization of N-linked and O-linked glycopeptides. Specifically, it also provides information regarding automated tools that can be used for glycan profiling using mass spectrometry.
本综述的目的是提供自2013年以来用于糖基化结构表征的生物信息学软件的最新信息。Woodin于2013年发表的一篇全面综述(参考文献1,138: 2793 - 2803)介绍了该领域新手入门的两种主要方法,分别是对释放的聚糖进行分析以及在酶解产物中鉴定糖肽。与该报告相辅相成的是,本综述重点关注用于N - 连接和O - 连接糖肽表征的与质谱相关的生物信息学工具。具体而言,它还提供了有关可用于通过质谱进行聚糖分析的自动化工具的信息。
