Conformational analyses of -4,-6-branching tri--glucopyranosides; influence of -4 linked residues on solution conformations about C5C6 bonds at (1–6)-linkages

Abstract Preferred conformations about α and β (1–6)-linkages of four types of 0 4, 0 6-branching trisaccharides I–IV were studied to examine the influence of the possible interaction between the 0 -4 and 0 -6 linked residues on the solution conformations.
