Hi Jiamu,
You can use Sketcher to make the library  for Coot.
You'd better to get  the PDB file from

http://www.dkfz.de/spec/glycosciences.de/tools/pdbcare/ .
Good luck!

Thanks for all the replies above. I have pasted the figure of the electrondensity map in the attachment. It seems I can fit two NAC molecules into the density. Any more suggestions are appreciated.
The remaining questions is below:
How to refine the NAC molecules in COOT or in O? It seems there is no LEGO and TORSION tools for sugar in O. Should I fit them into the density by rotate and translate each NAC molecule manually?

    Hi Jiamu,

    just add the desired sugar residue (likely a GlcNAc for a
    N-glycosylated
    Asn) (ND atom of ASN linked to C1 of sugar. Refmac should handle it
    properly. If not you have to add aLINK statement in the PDB
    header. Take any
    glycosylated structure in the PDB as an example (eg ricin, 2AAI).
    Feel free to ask further if needed !

    best regards

    Objet : [ccp4bb] how to model glycosylated residues?


    Dear All:
    As mentioned before, I am working on a 2.6 A resolution structure.
    There
    might be a glycosylated Asn.
    I want to model some carbohydrate molecule into my structure.
    My question is how to model them? Should I treat them as small
    molecules?

    Best Regards.
