When researchers at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) need a special tool to do their work more effectively, they often prove that necessity is truly the mother of invention. Such was the case recently for M. Lorna De Leoz and Stephen Stein, NIST chemists working in the growing specialization of glycomics. Glycomics is the study of the abundant, often-branched sugar chains called glycans that are attached to proteins and lipids and influence cellular processes, including immunity, protein folding and, sometimes, changes associated with cancer.

The NIST Glyco MS Calculator may be accessed and used free-of-charge at www.nist.gov/customcf/glyco-mass-calc. For more information, contact De Leoz at lorna.deleoz@nist.gov or Stein at stephen.stein@nist.gov.
