Data acquisition

The starting point involves acquiring high-quality experimental data, which we typically obtain through mass spectrometry (MS), nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), or X-ray crystallography. These methods provide key insights into the peptide backbone sequence and glycosylation sites.

Data processing

MS data analysis: We use deconvolution of MS spectra to identify glycan components associated with the peptide chain.

NMR data interpretation: We use resonance assignments and distance restraints to elucidate the three-dimensional structure in detail.

Crystallographic data refinement: We use electron density maps to refine the initial model.

Computational modeling

Sequence alignment: We align the peptide sequence with known databases to make preliminary structure predictions.

Glycan structure prediction: We use glycoinformatics tools to predict potential glycan conformations.

Structure prediction

Homology modeling: We use known glycoprotein structures as templates to model the peptide backbone.

Glycan docking: We use carbohydrate docking algorithms to predict the interactions and binding conformations of glycans on the peptide chain.

Molecular dynamics (MD) simulations: We use MD to obtain a dynamic view of glycopeptide stability and conformational changes, validate and optimize the predicted structures.

Validation and optimization

Energy minimization: Computational protocols to minimize steric clashes and optimize hydrogen bond networks.

Cross-validation: We compare the modeled structures with the original experimental data to detect and correct discrepancies.

Glycosylation site analysis: We examine the glycosylation sites in detail to obtain the correct connectivity and branching patterns.
