Carbohydrates play key roles in biological recognition processes, 1, 2 in development of
diseases, 3 and in many important areas of food and technical industry. The function of …

Complex carbohydrates are ubiquitous in nature, and together with proteins and nucleic
acids they comprise the building blocks of life. But unlike proteins and nucleic acids …

We present an extension of the CHARMM hexopyranose monosaccharide additive all-atom
force field to enable modeling of glycosidic-linked hexopyranose polysaccharides. The new …

The combination of structural diversity at several levels and limited chemical shift dispersion
ensures that NMR spectra of carbohydrates are relatively difficult to interpret. This …

Molecular Mechanics (MM) force fields are the methods of choice for protein simulations,
which are essential in the study of conformational flexibility. Given the importance of protein …

Very early in the history of NMR spectroscopy it was realised that it had an enormous
potential for studying conformations and configurations in organic compounds. After more …

In nature, carbohydrates form an important family of biomolecules, as simple or complex
carbohydrates, either alone or covalently linked to proteins or lipids. Most of the earlier …

Conspectus Monosaccharides adopt multiple conformations in solution, and this structural
complexity increases significantly when they are assembled into oligosaccharides and …

Glycostructures play a highly diverse and crucial role in a myriad of organisms and important
systems in biology, physiology, medicine, bioengineering and technology. Only in recent …

High-resolution 13C NMR spectra (150 MHz) have been obtained on the complete series of
d-aldohexoses (d-allose 1, d-altrose 2, d-galactose 3, d-glucose 4, d-gulose 5, d-idose 6, d …
