Frequently Asked Questions
What is BioF:GREAT?
- BioF:GREAT is an NSF funded resource that is designed to help scientists (Users) carry out their glyco-related science projects.
- Additionally BioF:GREAT is also working on bringing Glycoscience to the forefront of Life Sciences in the classroom and at the lab bench.
- Major focuses include AI/ML, Glycoenzymes, Glycoproteins, Training, and Education.
How does BioF:GREAT work?
- BioF:GREAT is designed with users of our resources in mind.
- Users can request Glycoanalytic analyses, Glycoenzymes, and Bioinformatic AI/ML tools, in addition to Educational and Training Courses.
- Users can submit Proposals for larger projects that may be funded by BioF:GREAT.
Does BioF:GREAT and the User Facility do more than just Glycomics and Glycoproteomics?
- Yes, AI/ML and glycoenzyme projects as well as training and education.
- Yes, the BioF:GREAT User facility provides other analytical services such as Glycan sequencing, Sites of Glycosylation, Monosaccharide/Linkage, Sialic Acids, Bioinformatics, and Glycolipids analyses and more!
- Additionally, the BioF:GREAT team works in conjunction with the NSF supported NMR facility.
How do I order Glycoenzymes from BioF:GREAT?
- Glycoenzymes can be ordered by browsing our Glycoenzyme Catalogue and requesting a quote for glycoenzyme of interest.
- Glycoenzymes are funded by BioF:GREAT and the NSF for academic and government institutions.
- Glycoenzymes of interest not currently in the catalogue can potentially be generated. Contact the BioF:GREAT team to discuss your idea.
