Glycoscience is an important emerging area with potential applications from personalized medicines and food security, to biofuels and advanced biomaterials. Key to the rational design of carbohydrate-based compounds is the ability to accurately understand their conformational behavior. Achieving this, however, can be challenging as carbohydrates can exhibit subtle conformational preferences. In this regard, the use of computational methods have proven useful; in particular, the application of molecular dynamics (MD) simulations is capable of providing conformational landscapes in atomistic detail not readily accessible via experimental approaches.
