摘要
Oligosaccharides represent a particularly challenging class of molecules for conformational analysis. Recent advances in experimental and theoretical methods have begun to yield further insight into their conformational behavior; however, general rules governing their conformational preferences have not yet emerged. X-ray and NMR techniques may provide vital insights into protein-bound oligosaccharide conformations, but these do not necessarily represent highly populated solution conformations. Moreover, an oligosaccharide's inherent flexibility and lack of strong intermolecular interactions places extreme demands on theoretical methods.
