27. All Simulations were carried out using a Molecular-Dynamics program developed in the Authors group. A Charmm22 force field, modified for the demands of carbohydrates was used. The parameterization is based on high level ab initio calculations (MP2/6-311+G(2d,2p)//6-31G**)) of fragment molecules [28]. Good agreement of the modified force field and ab initio is achieved. For all investigated molecules the results of the modified force field and ab initio are compared. A complete listing of the ab initio data is included in Ref. [29].
