Thanks for your reply.

You are right that glycan's conformation could be affected after using protein's scaling factors.

Do you have any experience about this kind of effect? How to judge that these effect is not fatal for the large time-scale (~us) simulation results?

Or, use CHARMM36 FF instead?

If it isn't possible to use different scaling factors for the
different parts of the simulation, we recommend using the protein's
scaling factors. There will be some impact on the glycan's
conformations. As always, validate your model!
