Twister
The `Twister' representation traces glycosidic bonds with a flat
ribbon that twists according to the relative orientation of
successive sugar residues. The concept is similar to the familiar
ribbon representations VMD uses for proteins. The paths connecting
oriented rings are connected by thin ribbons with user-adjustable
width and thickness, and with adjustable geometric resolution, and
the representation handles branched structures.
