Simulations of carbohydrate conformational dynamics and thermodynamics
In this thesis, free energy calculations are employed to establish the conformation freedom of selected carbohydrates. The focus is on the biologically important (1-4)-linked glucans, although the α(1-1) α and α(1-6) linkages are also investigated. Two principal types of potential of mean force (PMF) caltulation are used: free energy calculations for ...

Conformational studies in carbohydrate chemistry
I. The Rates of Formation of Some Hexoside 2,3-Epoxides The secondary tosylates of some 4,6-0-ethylidene derivatives of compounds with the D-glucose configuration have been prepared, and their rates of cyclisation to 2,3-epoxides in alkaline solution have been measured.

Enhanced conformational sampling of carbohydrates by Hamiltonian replica-exchange simulation [PDF]
Knowledge of the structure and conformational flexibility of carbohydrates in an aqueous solvent is important to improving our understanding of how carbohydrates function in biological systems. In this study, we extend a variant of the Hamiltonian replica-exchange molecular dynamics (MD) simulation to improve the conformational sampling of saccharides ...

Influence of Trp flipping on carbohydrate binding in lectins. An example on Aleuria aurantia lectin AAL. [PDF]
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).

Carbohydrate Structure Database oligosaccharide conformation tool
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.
