title: Conformational analysis and dynamics of mannobiosides and mannotriosides using Monte Carlo/stochastic dynamics simulations.
abstract: The conformation and dynamics of alpha-(1-->2)-mannobioside, alpha-(1-->6)-mannobioside, and of the trisaccharide alpha-Man-(1-->2)-alpha-Man-(1-->6)-alpha- Man-OMe were studied using Monte Carlo/stochastic dynamics (MC/SD) simulations, the AMBER* force field, and the GB/SA implicit water solvation model. The results are in agreement with available experimental data.
