Hi Engin,

thank you for all the trouble you went through to make this presentation! The glycosidic bond in your presentation is indeed correct (alpha1-6).

Not sure how to interpret the terms axial or equatorial; I followed the definition from here:
https://www.masterorganicchemistry.com/2018/02/19/the-big-damn-post-of-sugar-nomenclature

However, judging from the drawings here (https://chem.libretexts.org/Bookshelves/Organic_Chemistry/Supplemental_Modules_(Organic_Chemistry)/Alkanes/Properties_of_Alkanes/Cycloalkanes/Rings%3A_cis_trans_and_axial_equatorial_relationships), yes, the glycosidic bond in my case is equatorial and privateer reports it as beta1-6.

Its not urgent at all, but if you find a moment, could you please send me the terminal output of Coot it reports regarding your glycosidic linkages? To do that, start Coot from a terminal and load your carbohydrate tree. Centre on one of the atoms in your carbohydrate tree, open the "Add N-linked Glycan" panel in the Glyco module and press "Update for Current Residue". Coot will print debug info on the terminal.
In the unlike case that terminal output is disabled, you can enable it in Edit->Preferences->Other->Console->Display state commands in console?->Yes

Could you also send me the coordinates of your carbohydrate tree? It would like to load it in my Coot version(s) and check the terminal output.

Thanks again!
With best regards,
Markus
