论文摘要
分子结构的绘制和可视化是在结构糖生物学中执行的一些最常见的任务，通常使用各种软件。在这篇文章中，我们概述了用于草图，可视化和建模的计算工具中的发展。该文章还提供了有关聚糖和糖缀合物的标准表示的详细信息，这些详细信息有助于传达科学界的结构细节。我们强调了可用工具的比较分析，这些工具可以帮助研究人员执行与聚糖的结构表示和模型建设有关的各种任务。这些工具对于糖生物学家或任何寻求使用准备使用的简单程序的研究人员都有用，用于草图或建造聚糖。
Drawing and visualisation of molecular structures are some of the most common tasks carried out in structural glycobiology, typically using various software. In this perspective article, we outline developments in the computational tools for the sketching, visualisation and modelling of glycans. The article also provides details on the standard representation of glycans, and glycoconjugates, which helps the communication of structure details within the scientific community. We highlight the comparative analysis of the available tools which could help researchers to perform various tasks related to structure representation and model building of glycans. These tools can be useful for glycobiologists or any researcher looking for a ready to use, simple program for the sketching or building of glycans.
