BFMP: A Method for Discretizing and Visualizing Pyranose Conformations
نویسندگان
چکیده
We report a new classification method for pyranose ring conformations called Best-fit, Four-Membered Plane (BFMP), which describes pyranose ring conformations based on reference planes defined by four atoms. The method is able to characterize all asymmetrical and symmetrical shapes of a pyran ring, is readily automated, easy to interpret, and maps trivially to IUPAC definitions. It also provides a qualitative measurement of the distortion of the ring. Example applications include the analysis of data from crystal structures and molecular dynamics simulations.

Selective Formation and Conformational Analysis of Carbohydrate-derived Radicals
Carbohydrate free radicals are generated in non-aqueous solution by abstraction of bromine, iodine or selenophenyl with photolytically generated stannyl radicals from appropriately substituted pyranose derivatives and their e.s.r. spectra are recorded in the temperature range from 30 to 70 "C. From the hyperfine splitting parameters the preferred conformations of these sugar radicals are derive...
متن کاملReporting an Experience: Improving the Feulgen Staining Technique for Better Visualizing of Nucleus
Among different staining methods used to demonstrate the nuclear abnormalities, Feulgen is one of the most reliable method. Feulgen staining is specific, sensitive method for evaluating the DNA damages.It has been shown that using non-DNA specific stains for monitoring the nuclear anomalies lead to false-positive or false-negative results. From self-experience, immersing the stained slides in h...
متن کاملAtomic levers control pyranose ring conformations.
Atomic force microscope manipulations of single polysaccharide molecules have recently expanded conformational chemistry to include force-driven transitions between the chair and boat conformers of the pyranose ring structure. We now expand these observations to include chair inversion, a common phenomenon in the conformational chemistry of six-membered ring molecules. We demonstrate that by st...
