[Chimera-users] 3D-SNFG symbol representation for carbohydrate molecules

[Oliver Grant]

Dear developers,

The carbohydrate community has decided on a standard symbol representation
for carbohydrates. The article is here
<https://academic.oup.com/glycob/article-lookup/doi/10.1093/glycob/cwv091>,
and the webpage is here <https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK310273/>. Our
group has created a 3D version
<http://glycam.org/docs/othertoolsservice/2016/06/03/3d-symbol-nomenclature-for-glycans-3d-snfg/>
of
the symbols within the software VMD. Here's a video showing both versions.
<http://glycam.org/docs/othertoolsservice/wp-content/uploads/sites/15/2016/06/3D-SNG_PDB-3SGJ.mp4>
We
have also worked with David Sehnal to implement this into LiteMol, here is
an example <https://webchemdev.ncbr.muni.cz/LiteMol/Viewer/?loadFromCS=5a6z>. I
wanted to reach out and see if you are interested to implement this
representation within Chimera? We can discuss the details if so.

Regards,
