Abstract
Empirical potential energy calculations have been carried out to determine the preferred conformations of some oligosaccharides having the trimannosidic core structure (Man3GlcNAc2) and which interact with concanavalin A. In the minimum energy conformations for the trimannosidic core the mannose residue on the Man α(1–6) arm comes close to one of the N-acetylglucosamine residues of the core. The addition of N-acetylglucosamine residues to the terminal mannose residues does not alter the preferred conformation of the trimannosidic core although it alters the relative preference of some of the higher energy conformations. The minimum energy conformation broadly agrees with available X-ray data. The presence of a bisecting N-acetylglucosamine residue on the middle mannose does not push the trimannosidic core to any new conformation but it does alter the relative preference for a particular conformation.
