Dear Michael,
I did a quick check of the bonds found between GLC/BGC (alpha-D and
beta-D-glucoses) and Arginine using the MSDSite service at
http://www.ebi.ac.uk/msd-srv/msdsite/
From the left panel if you choose Ligand Bonds and put in GLC|BGC in
the ligand box and ARG in the residue box, there are 1160 interactions
between ARG and the ligand in the PDB but none of these interactions
appear to be covalent. Most interactions between the guanidino nitrogens
and the sugar are either hydrogen bonds or vanderWaals interaction.
Clicking on any of the bars in the result graph will take you to the
list of entries where these interactions can be found.
best regards,

Dear colleagues,
Has anyone seen a glucose covalently bonded to the guanidino nitrogens
of Arginine via a glycosidic bond?
Thanks.
