Restoring protein glycosylation with GlycoShape.

ABSTRACT: Despite ground-breaking innovations in experimental structural biology and protein structure prediction techniques, capturing the structure of the glycans that functionalize proteins remains a challenge. Here we introduce GlycoShape ( https://glycoshape.org ), an open-access glycan structure database and toolbox designed to restore glycoproteins to their native and functional form in seconds. The GlycoShape database counts over 500 unique glycans so far, covering the human glycome and augmented by elements from a wide range of organisms, obtained from 1 ms of cumulative sampling from molecular dynamics simulations. These structures can be linked to proteins with a robust algorithm named Re-Glyco, directly compatible with structural data in open-access repositories, such as the Research Col
