Do it the same way we used to do all glycans last year, before the new Coot interface for adding glycans:

* "Get monomer" to get the monomer you want to add roughly where it goes.

* Remove hydrogens from it.

* Position the O1 atom roughly where you have the O-gamma of Ser/Thr, rotate and translate to move the sugar into density.

* Make sure you have the right anomer (chirality at C1 carbon), so you end up with beta-n-acetylglucosamine, or whatever fancy brand of glycan you have.

* Remove the O1 atom from the sugar monomer.

* Merge the new monomer into your molecule, renumber and/or change chain ID as you like it (PDB will change it again probably).

* Save coordinates and go to your favorite reciprocal-space refinement program. phenix.refine and refmac know some of the O-linked glycan linkages, and will be able to figure out those restraints automatically. Depends on your glycan.

(The instructions above are from memory, and are not tested.)

Hi all,

I may have an O-linked glycan in one of my structures and I was wondering if someone has any experience building these? I think COOT only handles N-linked glycans.

Thanks,
Goran
