TL;DR: In this paper, the conformation of methyl 4-O-(β-D-galactopyranosyl)-β- D-xylopyranoide (1) and benzyl 3-O(β-d-galacticopyranosi) was investigated.

TL;DR: In this article, the synthesis of a β- d -mannopyranoside analog, which is fully identical to the naturally occurring d -mannose in terms of hydroxyl pattern, and displaying a skew boat conformation close to a B2,5 boat strongly believed to be adopted by the oxycarbenium transition state during glycosidic bond cleavage of β-mannane by family 26 βmannanase, is described.

TL;DR: A combination of NMR and x-ray approaches, combined with functional analyses of mutants, revealed that multimerization of p16.7C dimers is mediated by a large protein surface that is characterized by a striking self-complementarity, providing important clues about how protein multimerized and DNA binding are coupled.

TL;DR: In this paper, the essential structural and conformational features of protein-carbohydrate interactions and some applications of NMR spectroscopy to deal with this topic from different levels of complexity are discussed.

TL;DR: The binding of the different compounds to ricin, the galactose-specific toxin from Ricinus communis, has been investigated and the results confirm the involvement of the C-3 region in a nonpolar interaction with the protein at the periphery of the combining site.
