Sucrose in aqueous solution revisited, Part 1: Molecular dynamics simulations and direct and indirect dipolar coupling analysis

Abstract: Although the crystal structure of the disaccharide sucrose was solved more than 30 years ago, its conformational distribution in aqueous solution is still a matter of debate. We report here a variety of molecular dynamics simulations (mostly of 100 ns) using the GLYCAM06 force field and various water models, paying particular attention to comparisons to NMR measurements of residual dipolar couplings and electron-mediated spin-spin couplings. We focus on the glycosidic linkage conformation, the puckering phase … Show more

“…The glycoscidic angles are similar to those observed in the sucrose crystal structure (108, −55) [37], and structures near this state are predicted to be highly populated in solution [21, 27]. Distances between 2 and 3 Å are also consistent with this glycosidic linkage orientation, but with an ω angle of approximately 180°, or with a second highly populated conformer predicted in previous MD studies with ϕ, ψ, and ω angles near 70, −75, and 180° [28]. Except for very occasional sampling of a much longer distance, transitions between the major states are frequent (occurring on a timescale of a ns).…”

“…Sucrose (β-D-fructofuranosyl-(2-1)-α-D-glucopyranoside) is a disaccharide that exhibits a range of internal motions, both slow and fast compared to its overall tumbling time; sucrose has become a standard for testing the validity of MD simulations, as well as analyzing NMR spin relaxation measurements [2528]. …”

“…Recent developed GLY-CAM06 [162], CHARMM36 [163], GROMOS 53A6 GLYC [164], and OPLS-AA-SEI (scaling electrostatic interaction) [165] force fields are well defined for the conformational prediction of carbohydrates. Nowadays, modern carbohydrate force fields allowed to predicted the most important set of parameters of the structure of carbohydrates.…”

“…190 One of the distinct features of the oligosaccharides is their flexibility, which is important to their function. 182,191,192 Mass spectrometry is widely used to study the oligosaccharides conformers, 184,[193][194][195][196] including Ion Mobility Spectrometry. [197][198][199][200] The question of the extent to which the flexible ion retains the solution phase conformation is still under debates.…”
