Table 4.
Location of global minimum in the free energy landscape about the glycosidic dihedrals ϕ and ψ (°).
| Trisaccharide | ϕ/ψ (linkage 1)a | ϕ/ψ (linkage 2)a |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | −36/−24 | −54/−36 |
| 2 | 48/12 | −42/−24 |
| 3 | 48/24 | 54/36 |
| 4 | −30/24 | 48/12 |
| 5 | 54/24 | 54/0 |
. Linkage 1 is defined for the linkage including the monosaccharide with one prime at the non-reducing end and linkage 2 includes the monosaccharide with double primes at the non-reducing end. See Figure 1 for the structural models.
