Abstract

SugarBindDB covers knowledge of interactions between pathogen and biotoxin lectins with carbohydrate ligands of mammalian hosts. Information is collected by experts from articles published in peer-reviewed scientific journals. This chapter describes the evolution of SugarBindDB content, directed toward bringing the database closer to a reference resource for research on the glycobiology of infectious disease. SugarBindDB is part of the wider UniCarbKB initiative and as such shares search and displays functionalities with UniCarbKB (see chapter on “UnicarbKB”). It connects structural to functional information relative to sugars.
