Conformational differences between Fuc(alpha 1-3) GlcNAc and its thioglycoside analogue.

NOE measurements and molecular mechanics calculations have been performed to study the conformational behaviour of Fuc(alpha 1-3)GlcNAc and its thioglycoside analogue in solution. Experimental data show that, in contrast with the natural O-disaccharide, which is basically monoconformational, the S-analogue shows two conformational families, namely syn and anti.
