Abstract: | Multidimensional heteronuclear NMR studies have been applied to the
resonance assignment and conformational analysis of 13C-enriched
Neu5Acalpha2-3Galbeta1-4Glc. It is demonstrated that three-dimensional
ROESY-HSQC experiments provide through-space distance restraints which
cannot be observed with conventional homonuclear 1H techniques due to
resonance overlap. In particular, connectivities demonstrating the
existence of the "anti" conformation about the Galbeta1-4Glc glycosidic
linkage are unambiguously observed. It is shown that 13C isotopic
enrichment of the trisaccharide at a level >95% enables straightforward
measurement of trans-glycosidic 1H-13C and 13C-13C coupling constants and a
Karplus-type relation is derived for the latter. In total 15 conformational
restraints were obtained for the trisaccharide in aqueous solution, all of
which were in excellent agreement with theoretical parameters computed from
a 5 ns molecular dynamics simulation of the glycan.
