This paper presents the first ab initio conformational study of the Gal-β-1,4-[Fuc-α-1,3]-GlcNAc-β-OCH3 and Gal-β-1,4-[Fuc-α-1,3]-GlcNAc-β-OH trisaccharides (Lewis x) in the gas phase. Their lowest-energy conformers were selected first by the MM2*-SUMM conformational search technique. MM2* relative energies do not follow the same order for the two similar compounds. The molecular geometries and energies of the lowest-energy rotamers (7 of the acetal and 11 of the hemiacetal) were further analyzed at the HF/6-31G(d) level of theory. The ab initio method yields the same energetic order for the rotamers of the two molecules with considerably larger energetic differences for the first 7 rotamers: the MM2* method provides 0.3−0.5 kcal/mol, whereas the HF/6-31G(d) method provides 4.5 kcal/mol. In the most stable MM2* structures the hydrogen-bonded chains of galactose (in counterclockwise direction) and fucose (in clockwise direction) are not connected. The Gal(O6H) is a hydrogen bond donor (in clockwise direct...
