AlphaFold 3 can accurately model glycans with proper stereochemistry only when using the BAP+CCD syntax, but manually creating these inputs is tedious and error-prone. To streamline the process, JAAG—a lightweight, user-friendly web tool—automates the conversion of glycans drawn by users into BAP+CCD syntax. This makes it easier for scientists to model glycoproteins and glycan–protein interactions, helping even AlphaFold 3 beginners generate reliable, stereochemically valid structures effortlessly.

WIN332 binds to precursors of canonical human N332-glycan-dependent (Type-I) V3-glycan bNAbs but also of a first-of-its-class N332-glycan-independent (Type-II) V3-glycan bNAb. WIN332 elicits N332-glycan-independent antibodies with remarkable sequence and binding similarities with the most potent human type-I and type-II V3-glycan bNAbs. Thus, WIN332 is a promising vaccine candidate to streamline V3-glycan bNAb elicitation.
