Abstract: | The Complex Carbohydrate Structure Database (CCSD) and CarbBank, an IBM PC/AT (or compatible) database management system, were created to provide an information system to meet the needs of people interested in carbohydrate science. The CCSD, which presently contains more than 2000 citations, is expected to double in size in the next two years and to include, soon thereafter, all of the published structures of carbohydrates larger than disaccharides. |
