Simulations of carbohydrate conformational dynamics and thermodynamics
Includes bibliographical references. === In this thesis, free energy calculations are employed to establish the conformation freedom of selected carbohydrates. The focus is on the biologically important (1-4)-linked glucans, although the α(1-1) α and α(1-6) linkages are also investigated. Two princ...
