Carbohydrate Structure Database (CSDB) is a free curated database and service platform in glycoinformatics, launched in 2005[2] by a group of Russian scientists from N.D. Zelinsky Institute of Organic Chemistry, Russian Academy of Sciences. CSDB stores published structural, taxonomical, bibliographic and NMR-spectroscopic data on natural carbohydrates and carbohydrate-related molecules.

Overview

The main data stored in CSDB are carbohydrate structures of bacterial, fungal, and plant origin. Each structure is assigned to an organism and is provided with the link(s) to the corresponding scientific publication(s), in which it was described. Apart from structural data, CSDB also stores NMR spectra, information on methods used to decipher a particular structure, and some other data.[1][3] CSDB provides access to several carbohydrate-related research tools:

History and funding

Until 2015, Bacterial Carbohydrate Structure Database (BCSDB) and Plant&Fungal Carbohydrate Structure Database (PFCSDB) databases existed in parallel. In 2015, they were joined into the single Carbohydrate Structure Database (CSDB).[1] The development and maintenance of CSDB have been funded by International Science and Technology Center (2005–2007), Russian Federation President grant program (2005–2006), Russian Foundation for Basic Research (2005–2007,2012-2014,2015-2017,2018-2020), Deutsches Krebsforschungszentrum (short-term in 2006–2010), and Russian Science Foundation (2018–2020).

Data sources and coverage

The main sources of CSDB data are:

The data are selected and added to CSDB manually by browsing original scientific publications. The data originating from other databases are subject to error-correction and approval procedures.[14] As of 2017, the coverage on bacteria and archaea is ca. 80% of carbohydrate structures published in scientific literature [1] The time lag between the publication of relative data and their deposition into CSDB is about 18 months. Plants are covered up to 1997, and fungi up to 2012.[15] CSDB does not cover data from the animalia domain, except unicellular metazoa. There is a number of dedicated databases on animal carbohydrates, e.g. UniCarbKB [16] or GLYCOSCIENCES.de Archived 2021-02-11 at the Wayback Machine.[17]

CSDB is reported as one of the biggest projects in glycoinformatics.[18][19][20][21][22][23][24] It is employed in structural studies of natural carbohydrates[25][26][27] and in glyco-profiling.[28] The content of CSDB has been used as a data source in other glycoinformatics projects.[29][30][31][32]

Deposited objects

  • Molecular structures of glycans, glycopolymers and glycoconjugates: primary structure, aglycon information, polymerization degree and class of molecule. Structural scope includes molecules composed of residues (monosaccharides, alditols, amino acids, fatty acids etc.) linked by glycosidic, ester, amidic, ketal, phospho- or sulpho-diester bonds, in which at least one residue is a monosaccharide or its derivative.
  • Bibliography associated with structures: imprint data, keywords, abstracts, IDs in bibliographic databases
  • Biological context of structures: associated taxon, strain, serogroup, host organism, disease information. The covered domains are: prokaryotes, plants, fungi and selected pathogenic unicellular metazoa. The database contains only glycans originating from these domains or obtained by chemical modification of such glycans.
  • Assigned NMR spectra and experimental conditions.
  • Glycosyltransferases associated with taxons: gene and enzyme identifiers, full structures, donor and substrates, methods used to prove enzymatic activity, trustworthiness level.
  • References to other databases
  • Other data collected from original publications
  • Conformation maps of disaccharides derived from molecular dynamics simulations.

Interrelation with other databases

CSDB is cross-linked to other glycomics databases,[33][34] such as MonosaccharideDB Archived 2016-12-28 at the Wayback Machine, Glycosciences.DE Archived 2021-02-11 at the Wayback Machine, NCBI Pubmed, NCBI Taxonomy, NLM catalog, International Classification of Diseases 11, etc. Besides a native notation, CSDB Linear,[35] structures are presented in multiple carbohydrate notations (SNFG,[36] SweetDB,[37] GlycoCT,[38] WURCS,[39] GLYCAM,[40] etc.). CSDB is exportable as a Resource Description Framework (RDF) feed according to the GlycoRDF ontology.[41][42]
