Press Release Summary: PREMIER Biosoft talks about the advancements in glycomics and
reaffirms its business goals for glycomics in an interview aired by the Impact of
Glycomics radio show.


Press Release Body: Palo Alto, California—September 8, 2008, PREMIER Biosoft
President, Ms. Kay Brown was interviewed by the Impact of Glycomics radio show, a
show dedicated to knowledge sharing about the field of glycomics and the research
within the field. Recognizing PREMIER Biosoft\'s contribution to this area, Dr. John
McKenna decided to share PREMIER Biosoft\'s views with his listeners.

“The model that focused on data mining and analysis has shifted to data
visualization as far as glycomics is concerned. Structures of sugar molecules and
how they interact with proteins to form complexes is important for research
scientists and commercial organizations alike”, says Ms. Brown. “Our aim is to
deliver a complete analysis and research solution for characterizing glycans,
glycoproteins and glycopeptides.”

With the focus now shifting from Genomics to Proteomics, PREMIER Biosoft has marked
its entry into this arena with the launch of SimGlycan. It is aimed to aid research
in glycobiology by predicting glycan structures using MS/MS data. SimGlycan has the
largest hand curated database of glycans and has proprietary search and scoring
algorithms to help save time.
