Abstract: | In glycoproteins, even for those containing a single glycosylation site, diversity is manifest in the occurrence of a family of structurally-related yet distinct oligosaccharides. To date this ‘microheterogeneity’ is universal in mammalian glycoproteins. A method is described, using 1H-1H correlated and double quantum nuclear magnetic resonance NMR spectroscopy, for the assignment of proton resonances within a mixture of complex-type oligosaccharides derived from the Fc region of rabbit immunoglobulin G. The ability to assign resonances in heterogeneous populations will be of importance in the chemical shift analysis of the 1H-NMR spectra of glycopeptides since these cannot generally be separated on the basis of their carbohydrate sequence. The resulting assignments will be necessary before conformational studies on glycopeptides using nuclear Overhauser effects can be made. |
