Additional Input rules
- a) a,b have to used instead of α,β.
- b) the ring configuration (D or L) has to be given always.
- c) a hyphen before and after the linkage information is required -(1-3)-
- d) Furanoses and Pyranoses have to be indicated.
- e) A '+'-sign is required to indicate continuation of the structure in an upper of lower line of the editor.
- f) To indicate the vertical connections the '+' , '|' and the connection to the corresponding monosaccharide have to be in one vertical line. This requirements often causes problems when inputting structures by the copy/paste option when a proportional fond (like Arial or Times) is used.
Example of a N-Glycan structure
a-D-Manp-(1-2)-a-D-Manp-(1-6)+
|
a-D-Manp-(1-6)+
| |
a-D-Manp-(1-2)-a-D-Manp-(1-3)+ |
|
b-D-Manp-(1-4)-b-D-GlcpNAc-(1-4)-b-D-GlcpNAc-(1-4)-Asn
|
a-D-Manp-(1-2)-a-D-Manp-(1-2)-a-D-Manp-(1-3)+
Using the input window a few special input rules have to be fulfilled which are discussed for the N-Glycan structure given above.
Correct input
a-D-Manp-(1-2)-a-D-Manp-(1-6)+
|
a-D-Manp-(1-6)
|
a-D-Manp-(1-2)-a-D-Manp-(1-3)+
Incorrect input:
a-D-Manp-(1-2)-a-D-Manp-(1-6)+
|
a-D-Manp-(1-6)
|
a-D-Manp-(1-2)-a-D-Manp-(1-3)+
