GlycoNAVI is a computer software suite containing databases, desktop applications, web services and other useful tools that has been developed to provide a comprehensive support for carbohydrate research. GlycoNAVI database, one of the components, consists of multiple databases relevant to glyco -organic chemistry such as organic synthesis methods (reactions), abbreviations (synonyms), molecular information and so on. All information in the database is gathered from numerous literatures related to carbohydrates. The functions in the database provide a number of search options for researchers to quickly access the desired information. The web retrieval system, for instance, allows researchers to input ID number or Keyword as a search query. The system also has the function to show the graphical images of chemical structure so that an easy access to the desired molecular information is possible. On the other hand, a molecular structure is often used as a search query in a conventional database of compounds. However; in this system, a researcher is able to use CSEditor, a desktop application with user-friendly graphical interface, to perform a search for chemical structure. CSEditor allows researchers to easily depict a chemical structure and the depicted structure can be used as a query for partial or exact matching search. Furthermore, by selecting the molecule in the search result, the details regarding chemical reactions including the molecule on the query are easily obtained. GlycoNAVI database is an inclusive set of information which opens the door to all carbohydrate researchers including the ones that are unfamiliar with chemical structures because CSEditor, an easy editing tool of carbohydrates, is available and always comes along the suite.
