  • Both LINUCS and GLYDE are tree-based formats in which the natural topology of the glycan is mirrored in the data structure.
  • the reducing terminus of the glycan is reacted with an amine followed by reduction with a selective reducing agent.
  • The structure of the glycan is known to have a large variety among organisms, tissues, and even the same type of cell.
  • If the glycan is linked to an amino acid functioning as an MHC anchor residue the glycopeptide may be incapable of MHC binding and thus become nonimmunogenic (2, 7).
