An Unusual Carbohydrate Conformation is Evident in Moraxella catarrhalis Oligosaccharides
Molecules, 2015 Oligosaccharide structures derived from the lipooligosaccharide of M. catarrhalis show that the highly branched glucose-rich inner core of the oligosaccharide has an altered conformation compared to the most truncated tetra-glucose-Kdo lgt1/4Δ ...

Influence of Trp flipping on carbohydrate binding in lectins. An example on Aleuria aurantia lectin AAL. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2017 Protein-carbohydrate interactions are very often mediated by the stacking CH-π interactions involving the side chains of aromatic amino acids such as tryptophan (Trp), tyrosine (Tyr) or phenylalanine (Phe).

Solvent interactions determine carbohydrate conformation [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2001 The relationship between the three-dimensional structures of oligosaccharides and polysaccharides and their biological properties has been the focus of many recent studies. The overall conformation of an oligosaccharide depends primarily on the orientation of the torsion angles (φ, ψ, and ω) between glycosyl residues.

Carbohydrate Structure Database oligosaccharide conformation tool
Glycobiology, 2022 Abstract Population analysis in terms of glycosidic torsion angles is frequently used to reveal preferred conformers of glycans. However, due to high structural diversity and flexibility of carbohydrates, conformational characterization of complex glycans can be a challenging task.
