Explore Our Work
The Computational Chemistry and Bioinformatics Research Core (CCBRC) provides computations of many kinds to support research on multiple glycoscience topics. Many aspects of glycoscience are amenable to and can benefit from computational investigation. Along with supporting researchers in identifying computational approaches to assist them in their research, CCBRC will provide training in computational methods for glycoscience. These training sessions will enable researchers to increase their skills portfolio.
What kinds of calculations are covered?
Structures and properties of small molecules containing sugar moieties
Structures and properties of glycoconjugates such as glycoproteins
Protein-ligand interactions in which either the protein or ligand or both contain glyco groups
Bioinformatics analysis of big data, such as the outputs of mass spectrometry of glycoconjugate mixtures
Other bioinformatics, such as for pathway analysis of glycosylation
Upcoming Training Sessions and Workshops
Check back later for information on the next workshop.

Meet the Director
Hello everyone! I have the fantastic privilege of being the director of the NIH-funded Computational Chemistry and Bioinformatics Research Core (CCBRC), which provides computations, resources, and training of many kinds to support research on multiple glycoscience topics, including for modeling of glycoprotein structure, dynamics, and interactions; modeling of carbohydrates and natural-product sugar-containing molecules; bioinformatics analysis of big data such as the outputs of mass spectrometry of glycoconjugate mixtures; and lectin-carbohydrate interactions. If you need any assistance, please feel free to contact me or another team member. For everyone’s convenience, please use the CCBRC Service Request Form linked above to submit your request.
