Sahoo SS, Thomas C, Sheth A, Henson C, York WS. GLYDE-an expressive XML standard for the representation of glycan structure. Carbohydr. Res. 2005 340 2802-2807. 

Fig. 2 Three-dimensional structure of FLAP. Left panet. Monomer A is shown in ribbon representabon and in yellow, while monomer B is shown in surface representation in blue. The relative location of the active site, N-terminus, and GPI anchoring site are indicated. Right panel. Modeled structure of the GPI anchor attached to the 3D structure of PLAP. N-linked complex glycan was also modeled at N122 and at N249. This figure was kindly produced and contributed by Dr. Mark R. Wormald, Oxford Glycobiology Institute, University of Oxford, Oxford, UK...

Fig. 5. Nomenclature and symbolic representations of the major subcategories of glycosphingolipids, from the simple (GlcCer and GalCer) to the root structures. All except Mollu and Arthro are present in mammalian cells. The glycan symbols are as in Fig. 8.
