Protein glycosylation plays an important part in cell signaling and
structural determination. To understand the process of glycosylation, one of
the most important step is elucidating the structure of glycans.
SimGlycan™ accepts input in many formats, mzXML, mzData, text,
spreadsheet, wiff and t2d files generated by ABI mass spectrometers as well
as raw data files from Bruker instruments.
“We are now closer to our goal of offering an exceptionally powerful tool
to the glycomics research community. The ability to annotate mass spectra is
perhaps the most important step towards glycan characterization that
SimGlycan™ now offers” said Kay Brown, V.P. Business Development and
Marketing. “We have also made publishing and sharing of the spectra easy,
with a printer friendly export option and informative with the new
annotation capabilities” she further told the press. For details, please
