Abstract

The conformational space of the tetrasaccharide α‐L‐Fuc‐(1→2)‐β‐D‐Gal‐(1→3)‐β‐D‐GalNAc‐(1→3)‐α‐D‐GallPr (3) and of some overlapping di‐ and trisaccharide sequences was investigated with the aid of molecular‐mechanics energy minimizations, molecular‐dynamics simulations, and 1H‐NMR analysis. These investigations suggested that in compound 3 a certain rigidity of the first two glycosidic linkages (Fuc‐Gal and Gal‐GalNAc) is combined with the flexibility of the third one (GalNAc‐Gal).
