An extension of the GROMOS 53A6GLYC force field for carbohydrates to encompass glycoprotein linkages is presented. The set includes new atomic charges and incorporates adequate torsional potential parameters for N-, S-, C-, P-, and O-glycosydic linkages, offering compatibility with the GROMOS force field family for proteins. Validation included the description of glycosydic linkage geometries between amino acid and monosaccharide residues, comparison of NMR-derived protein-carbohydrate and carbohydrate-carbohydrate nuclear overhauser effect (NOE) signals for glycoproteins and the effects of glycosylation on protein flexibility and dynamics.
