2) Universal Input lets you use new formats: e.g., GlyTouCan IDs, common names, CSDB-linear, GAGs. All nomenclature support will go to 95-100% (now >10 total) + we even prevent & fix chemical impossibilities. Universal Input will also be in our GUI and at canonicalize.streamlit.app with GlycoDraw!

Happy new year 2026 #glycotime! 🥳 We just introduced some useful options to Re-Glyco Ensemble.
In the Advanced Settings you can now select a seed (positive integer) to reproduce structural ensemble of your favourite glycoforms such as the one below that you will see soon in an upcoming paper,

Importing data w/ GlycoDiveR automatically connects to the @glycosmos.bsky.social API to provide GlyTouCan accession numbers for glycopeptides, and it connects to the #uniprot API to pull in associated protein annotations to assess, for example, which BP, CC, or MF are associated with glycopeptides.

Glycan structures can be very complex and deceivingly similar, yet they have unique GlyTouCan IDs[1] that you can find by drawing the glycan you need in gb.glytoucan.org or in the glycoshape.org sugar drawer 1/3 🧵

2/2 GlyTouCan IDs of the structures I picked are on the right. Keen observers may notice that some of the glycans are orientated not ideally relative to the protein and that is because the PDB structure is a bit of a 🧀 with oddly chosen rotamers in places.. 😋😁

4/8 Microheterogeneity (a feature not a bug) modulates glycan-dependent structure and function properties with exceptional dynamisms, allowing to tune them as a dial more than a ON/OFF switch, by glycan types conc gradients. This is critical in tuning properties such as immune response
![Figure 2. (a) The three main types of human N-glycans are oligomannose, hybrid and complex. Representative structures are shown with 2D SNFG symbols [41] and corresponding GlyTouCan [42] IDs. Arrows indicate multi-step processes (not direct reactions) occurring in the ER (light blue background) and Golgi (light yellow background), involving numerous enzymes. ERMan-1 (UniProt Q9UKM7) and GNT-1 (UniProt P26572) are shown as the enzymes initiating key steps in N-glycan processing. (b) Man9 N-glycan [3] (mannose in green and GlcNAc in blue sticks) at position N234, chain B, of the SARS-Cov-2 S (WHu-1) trapped inside a pocket upon opening of the RBD chain A (yellow surface). The protein structure is shown as a surface, with Chain A in yellow, B in white and C in pink. All other glycans are not shown for clarity. The 3D structure is from a representative frame from an MD simulation, based on PDB 3VYB, [1]. All other glycans are not shown for clarity. (c) Man5 in FcγRIII (PDB 3SGK) at N40 with the α(1–6) arm trapped in a pocket, exposing the α(1–3) arm to the solvent, leading to a local enrichment in hybrid N-glycans. The 3D structure is from a representative frame from an MD simulation, based on PDB 3SGK, [34]. All other glycans are not shown for clarity. (d) MS spectrum of the recombinant CD52-Fc active fraction (black) overlaid with the spectrum of the inactive fraction (red), which is the most abundant by weight. N-glycan compositions are annotated. (e) Top 10 N-glycan compositions with more than 2.5% relative abundance in active fractions, ordered by increasing m/z (M−H). The fraction in blue is the most active and shows a higher content of sialylated epitopes. (f) Proposed structure of the complex between the HMGB1-Box B (cyan cartoons) and the hyperglycosylated CD52 peptide (green cartoons). (..) Panels d–g are adapted from Ref. [43].](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:xorrvcukxonsyeoudfzmnmhz/bafkreie62w6gq3lx4yrgaabng5stqog6v7fwgctsfmek4szmzxr5wkojmq)

Glycans structure and flexibility is an inherent property of their structure and branching. The conformational equilibrium is only shifted when the protein architecture requires a selection of conformers that complement it best. This appears to be one of those cases
