Abstract: Polysaccharides represent an important class of biopolymers. Advance in their investigation depends considerably on the adequate modeling of their structures by using appropriate oligosaccharides. Herein, we discuss the role of the length of oligosaccharide models used in predicting polysaccharide properties, in particular, their conformational and spectral characteristics.
