The type and the size of the saccharide side chain can affect the conformation of the peptide portion of glycopeptides. This was shown by conformational analysis in solution for a series of glycoundecapeptides with systematically varied tumor-associated carbohydrate antigens of type A from the recognition region of the cell adhesion glycoprotein LI-cadherin (gray C, red O, blue N; the saccharide side chain is more intensely colored).
