Mm3 modeling of aldopentose pyranose rings

TLDR
In this paper, the authors studied the ring conformations of d-xylopyranose, d-lyxopyrnose, and d-arabinopyrynose and found that the energy surfaces exhibit low-energy regions corresponding to chair and skew forms with high energy barriers between these regions.

Conformation, dynamics, solvation and relative stabilities of selected β-hexopyranoses in water: a molecular dynamics study with the gromos 45A4 force field

TL;DR: Good agreement is found with available experimental and theoretical data on the structural, dynamical, solvation and energetic properties of these compounds, but this detailed comparison also reveals some discrepancies, suggesting the need for further refinement.

The complete conformational free energy landscape of β-xylose reveals a two-fold catalytic itinerary for β-xylanases

TL;DR: Ab initio conformational free energy landscapes, together with molecular dynamics simulations, enable to predict the catalytic itineraries of β-xylanase enzymes.
Journal ArticleDOI

Synthesis, conformation and biology of naphthoxylosides.

TL;DR: A new synthetic protocol, based on acetal protection and selective benzylation, for modification of the three hydroxyl groups in xylose is developed, which synthesized twelve analogs of 2-naphthyl β-d-xylopyranoside (XylNap), where each hydroxym group has been epimerized or replaced by methoxy, fluoro, or hydrogen.

Determining the solution conformational entropy of oligosaccharides by SEC with on-line viscometry detection.

TL;DR: The accuracy and precision of SEC/VISC were found to be excellent, as was the sensitivity of the viscometer in the oligomeric region, and an hypothesis is advanced to explain the unexpectedly high sensitivity of viscometric detection for low-molar-mass analytes.

Modeling ring puckering in strained systems: application to 3,6-anhydroglycosides.

TL;DR: Results show the preponderance of a distorted chair conformation over that of the distorted boat, though the energy difference is lower and the distortions are larger for the compound with the beta-D-galacto configuration.

General definition of ring puckering coordinates

TL;DR: In this article, a unique mean plane is defined for a general monocyclic puckered ring, which is described by amplitude and phase coordinates which are generalizations of those introduced for cyclopentane by Kilpatrick, Pitzer, and Spitzer.

The relationship between proton-proton NMR coupling constants and substituent electronegativities—I : An empirical generalization of the karplus equation

TL;DR: In this paper, a new coupling constant-torsion angle relation for the three-bond 1H-1H spin-spin coupling constant is formulated, which includes a correction for the electronegativity of substituents.

Molecular mechanics. The MM3 force field for hydrocarbons. 3. The van der Waals' potentials and crystal data for aliphatic and aromatic hydrocarbons

TL;DR: The van der Waals' potentials used for interactions between carbon and hydrogen in both aliphatic and aromatic systems have been improved from those available in MM2, and the new values are used in MM3 as mentioned in this paper.
