This project in the Theoretical and Computational Chemistry                     Program concerns the development of models to describe optical                  rotation by polysaccharide molecules, which are important                       structural components of carbohydrates found in all biological                  systems.  The optical rotation is sensitive to chemical                         structure, configuration, and conformation and therefore                        provides information about these properties.                                                                                                                    In this work the optical rotation is related to vacuum                          ultraviolet circular dichroism bands, which in turn are                         described by geometry dependent interactions among                              bond-localized electronic transitions.  The model has already                   been developed and tested on simple monsaccharides and now will                 be applied to disaccharides, including some that are the                        smallest conformational units of important polysaccharides.                     The work will give valuable theoretical information on                          molecular conformations to complement NMR and other                             experimental techniques currently in use.
