Figure 3.

β-D-xylose ring pucker analysis over 3 μs of cumulative MD sampling of the ngx N-glycan. The two snapshots on the right-hand side are representative ngx conformations corresponding to the two different ring puckers. The Xyl1 and Xyl2 axis labels refer to the torsion angles C1–C2–C3–C4 and C2–C3–C4–C5, respectively. The N-glycan structures are shown with the (1-3) and (1-6) arms on the left and on the right, respectively. The monosaccharides colouring follows the SFNG nomenclature. The structure rendering was done with VMD (https://www.ks.uiuc.edu/Research/vmd/) and the graphical statistical analysis with RStudio (https://www.rstudio.com).
