Polysac3-DB

This data base contains the three-dimensional structures of Polysaccharides that have been established experimentally from X-ray, neutron electron diffraction, high resolution NMR and molecular modelling. Depending upon the cases, up to three types of 3D structures are given, corresponding respectively to the repeating unit, the polysaccharide chain, and the crystalline packing. See Guide for information about the Data Base content, the Data Query, the Simple Search and the Advanced search options. The “Display and Download Menu� requires the Jmol applet to be installed.
