WURCSRDF WURCSFramework WURCSRDF is a convert tool that can output from WURCS string to Resource Description Framework (RDF) and SPARQL Query. It is also used in GlyCosmos. gitlab
subsumption WURCSFramework This tool generates relationships for glycans with the same mass and for glycans with the same composition.
GlycanFormatConverter-cli GlycanFormatConverter This tool provides GlycanFormatConverter functionality from the CUI. gitlab
MolWURCS WURCSFramework MolWURCS is a tool to generate WURCS from chemical structure data such as Molfile. gitlab
GlycanCompositionConverter GlycanFormatConverter This tool generates WURCS from glycan composition notations. It is used by GlyCosmos. gitlab
SugarDrawer GlycanFormatConverter SugarDrawer is a web-based glycan structure tool, which supports the depiction of glycans, and a database search. This tool has a unique feature for selecting possible attachment sites, which is defined in the Symbol Nomenclature for Glycans (SNFG). In addition, this tool can input and output glycans in WURCS and GlycoCT formats, which are the commonly-used text formats for glycan structures. It is also used in GlycoNAVI and GlyCosmos. gitlab Molecules. 2021 Nov 25;26(23):7149. PMID: 34885724 PMCID: PMC8659005 doi: 10.3390/molecules26237149.
GlycanBuilder2Web GlycanBuilder2 GlycanBuilder2Web is a web-based glycan structure tool, which supports the depiction of glycans, and a database search. This tool support for glycan symbols defined in the Symbol Nomenclature for Glycans (SNFG). In addition, this tool can input and output glycans in WURCS and GlycoCT formats, which are the commonly-used text formats for glycan structures. It is also used in GlycoNAVI and GlyCosmos. gitlab
Glycoworkbench GlycanBuilder2 GlycoWorkbench is a software tool to assist the manual interpretation of MS data. The tool provides an easy to use graphical interface, a set of structural constituents, a collection of fragmentation types, and a broad list of annotation options. gitlab J Proteome Res. 2008 Apr;7(4):1650-9. doi: 10.1021/pr7008252.
