EPSDATABASE

The EPS Database provides access to detailed structural, taxonomic and bibliographic information on bacterial EPS. Each EPS entry in the database is represented by the repeating unit structure and linked to various EPS structures expressed by different strains of the same bacterium. The EPS-producing organism, growth conditions for EPS expression and structure determination are likewise listed with literature links. Structural information is provided in the form of the WURCS, GlycoCT and BCSDB code when available. Finally, the EPS entries are linked to external databases such as the GlyTouCan international structure repository and the Bacterial Carbohydrate Structure DataBase.
