The goal of this project was to create a usable web tool that combined Glycano (a 2D carbohydrate builder) and CarbBuilder (which predicts 3D structures), for the 2D graphical building of carbohydrate molecules and 3D visual representation of them. Carbohydrates play key roles in diseases and are thus the focal point of many vaccine studies. A molecular web application would be a useful scientific tool to aid in the understanding of their structures and functions. Previously, no web tools existed that combined the simple building mechanics provided by Glycano and the 3D structure prediction provided by CarbBuilder. Along with this, other carbohydrate web applications lack proof of usability, thus this tool needed to be both correct and usable
