| Summary: | Glycosylation is one of the most important post-translational modifications, and glycosylated proteins and lipids cover the cell surface to form the so-called glycocalyx which provides a physical interface for signal transduction and cell-cell communication in various biological phenomena. For further promotion of glycoscience, a collection of protocols that can be accessed, by not only beginners but also researchers in other fields, is essential. The Japan Consortium for Glycoscience and Glycotechnology (JCGG) was established to enhance interactions among not only glycoscientists but also investigators of other academic societies and corporate research institutions in Japan. JCGG has been providing the GlycoScience Protocol Online Database (GlycoPOD) since Oct. 26, 2010. After 12 years, it was decided to revise this version by adding 47 new items (15 in mass spectrometry, 22 in chemical synthesis, and 10 in chemical analysis), rewriting, and reorganizing the rest in line with the recent progress in the glycosciences, and to publish GlycoPOD version 2 (GlycoPODv2) as an e-book
