✦ Synopsis
Molecular dynamics simulations of methyl-P-D-glucoside in water are performed. Although the tg conformation of the hydroxymethylgroup is found to be the lowest in energy for the isolated molecule, it appears to be unstable in water. The well-known absence of a significant amount of the tg conformation in polar solvents can therefore be explained as a solvent effect.
