A strategy for automated, flexible-residue conforma tional analysis of disaccharides i s presented with examples from a study of cellobiose. The strategy includes modifications of the MM2 program to give a r i g i d dihedral driver option that starts with the same intra-residue geometry at each increment of the driven torsion angles. This avoids the propagation of residue distortions from one conformation to the next. In analyzing cellobiose, the use of four starting models with different combinations of side group orientations provided at least one satisfactory optimization for each linkage conformation. Each starting model, contributed to a table of lowest energy values but the low-energy region of the resulting map was similar to earlier work based on a single starting model. Many monosaccharides have a single, well-established, preferred ring conformation, such as C-. Therefore, the objective of a typical conformational analysis (CA) of disaccharides i s the understanding of the varying energetic relationship between the two residues as they are rotated about their bonds to the oxygen atom of the glycosidic linkage. These rotations are described by the torsion angles φ and Ψ, shown i n Figure 1. One might (naively) employ CA to answer the question, "What i s the most likely shape of a molecule?" However, crystallographic and other experimental evidence shows that the conformations of individual residues (1,2), disaccharides (3) and polysaccharides (4.) vary, often substantially. Perhaps then, i t i s more appropriate to think of CA as a tool for predicting the range or ranges of attainable conformations. Of these attainable conformations, observed values of φ and Ψ w i l l vary, depending on crystal packing i n the solid state or the type of solvent i n solutions. Although the main variables of disaccharide CA are φ and Ψ, an objective treatment requires finding the least energetic combination of a l l the other conformational variables at each φ,Ψ point. In a practical sense, this requires computer models of sugar residues that are flexible. A l l bond lengths, bond angles and torsion angles other than φ and Ψ must be adjusted at each increment of φ and Ψ i n order to obtain the lowest possible potential energy. 4

and solutions, gt and gg positions are preferred for glucose, while the tg and gt positions are preferred for galactose (28). Even hydrogen atoms i n secondary hydroxyl groups are problematic, with different arrangements giving a range of energy values. However, one need not usually consider a l l three staggered positions for each hydroxyl group. The lowest energies for models of pyranose rings occur when the secondary hydroxyl groups a l l have similar r e l a t i v e orientations. This enables the formation of cooperative rings of intramolecular hydrogen-bonds. These s i m i l a r orientations are described as clockwise (C) or anticlockwise (R) (8.) . A paper by TvaroSka, Kozar and Hricovini i n t h i s book describes an alternate procedure for coping with variable side group positions. In the present case (cellobiose), four different models were tested. They were gtgtRR, gtgtCC, ggggRR and ggggRC, shown i n Figure 2. More combinations were not used as s t a r t i n g models because the number of changes i n the energy map seemed to diminish with each successive t r i a l . Unless a l l p o s s i b i l i t i e s are t r i e d , of course, there i s no way to know with certainty that the lowest energy has been attained at each φ,Ψ point. While more structures can be tested, i t i s not reasonable to test a l l p o s s i b i l i t i e s . About one week i s required to test each s t a r t i n g model on a MicroVax II and there are about possibilities. Instead, we seek a result that w i l l have an error less greater than 1 kcal/mol at each φ,Ψ point, at least i n the i n t e r e s t i n g , low-energy zones. This error i s i n addition to the o v e r a l l deficiencies i n the force f i e l d , such as the underestimation of hydrogen bonding energy i n MMP2(85) (29) and neglect of any environmental interactions. Most molecular mechanics studies do not indicate that one p o s i t i o n of the primary alcohol group has an energy p r o h i b i t i v e l y higher than the others. This i s not consistent with the experimental data so we conclude that the model i s not complete. Also, i n t e r residue hydrogen bonds are often observed under experimental conditions but intra-molecular hydrogen bonds are favored i n our models because the molecule i s i s o l a t e d . Therefore, the purpose i n using a variety of different s t a r t i n g models i s not to determine the preferred side group orientations. Instead, alternate starting arrangements were used to assure attainment of low energies for φ-Ψ values that otherwise might have higher energy values caused by positions of side groups that cause interference. Problems with Flexible-Residue Analysis Because the i n t e r n a l geometry of each residue responds to forces a r i s i n g from the proximity of the other half of the disaccharide, an apparent c o n f l i c t arises between two desirable goals of CA. On one hand, we hope that model residues deform during changes i n φ and Ψ i n a manner similar to real molecules that undergo s i m i l a r motions. One might expect that the structure and energy values of r e a l molecules would be different before and immediately after 3 6 0 ° rotations about φ and Ψ. On the other hand, a φ, Ψ map must have the same energies at +180 and - 1 8 0 ° i n order to show the minimal energy at each φ,Ψ conformation. This c o n f l i c t i s a t y p i c a l example of the difference between k i n e t i c a l l y determined results and thermodynamically determined ones. Energy minimization algorithms however, cannot generally overcome false minima, so i n e l a s t i c a l l y deformed models are not brought to the thermodynamically best structure during CA. A modeling study can avoid i n e l a s t i c deformations by only searching conformation space close to the minima as i n the pseudor a d i a l search method described i n the preceding paper by Tran and Brady. That type of search mimics the thermal motion of a molecule,
