Part of the book series: Methods in Molecular Biology ((MIMB,volume 715))

Abstract

Computerized molecular modeling continues to increase in capability and applicability to carbohydrates. This chapter covers nomenclature and conformational aspects of carbohydrates, perhaps of greater use to carbohydrate-inexperienced computational chemists. Its comments on various methods and studies might be of more use to computation-inexperienced carbohydrate chemists. New work on intrinsic variability of glucose, an overall theme, is described.

*Prepared for the Methods in Molecular Biology Series, The Plant Cell Wall: Methods and Protocols, Book Editor Zoë Popper.
