Exhaustive rotamer search of the 4C1 conformation of α- and β-D-galactopyranose
An exhaustive search approach was used to establish all possible rotamers of α- and β-D-galactopyranose using DFT at the B3LYP/6-311+G** and M06-2X/6-311+G** levels, both in vacuum calculations, and including two variants of continuum solvent models as PCM and SMD to simulate water solutions.

An exhaustive search approach was used to establish all possible rotamers of α- and β-D-galactopyranose using DFT at the B3LYP/6-311+G** and M06-2X/6-311+G** levels, both in vacuum calculations, and including two variants of continuum solvent models as PCM and SMD to simulate water solutions. Free energies were also calculated. MM3 was used as the starting point for calculations, using a dielectric constant of 1.5 for vacuum modeling, and 80 for water solution modeling. For the vacuum calculations, out of the theoretically possible 729 rotamers, only about a hundred rendered stable minima, highly stabilized by hydrogen bonding and scattered in a ca. 14 kcal/mol span. The rotamer with a clockwise arrangement of hydrogen bonds was the most stable for the α-anomer, whereas that with a counterclockwise arrangement was the most stable for the β-anomer. Free energy calculations, and especially solvent modeling, tend to flatten the potential energy surface. With PCM, the total range of energies was reduced to 9–10 kcal/mol (α-anomer) or 7–8 kcal/mol (β-anomer). These figures fall to 4.5–6 kcal/mol using SMD.
