Determination of glycopeptide primary structure by 360-MHz proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy
Biochemistry, 1981
A detailed analysis of the proton magnetic resonance spectral parameters for the anomeric and C2 hydrogen resonances of 63 different glycopeptides and oligosaccharides of known structure reveals a general method for the determination of the primary structure of glycopeptides for most currently known classes of structures. In particular, a twodimensional display formed by plotting mannosyl C 1-H vs. C2-H chemical shifts demonstrates that these pairs of values are sensitive to long-range perturbation by remote substitution-Am 81 M6M4GN4GN-Asn 8594 M~[ M~] M~M~G N~G N-A s~ 90,91 M6[M2M3]M4GN 95 M3M6M4GN4GN-Asn 96 GN2M6[GN2M3] [GN4] M4GN4[F6] GN-Asn 97 G4GN2M6[M3] M4GN4[F6] GN-Asn 99 G~G N~M~[ G N~M~] M~G N~[ F~] G N-A s~ a S3 = aNeuNAc(2,3), S6 = aNeuNAc(2,6), G4 = PGal(l,4), GN2 = PGalNAc(l,2), GN4 = PGlcNAc(l,4), GN6 = pGlcNAc(l,6), M3 = aMan(l,3), M4 =PMan(1,4), M6 =aMan(l,6), F3 =cuFuc(l,3), and F6 =aFuc(l,6).

Nonselective and mono-and biselective spin-lattice relaxation rates, nuclear Overhauser enhancements, and coupling constants were measured as means for determining such stereochemical features as the conformation of the glucosidic bond of 2,3,4,6,2',3'-hexa-~-acetyl-4-~-~-~-glucopyranosy~-1',6'-anhydro-P-~-glucopyranose (1) in acetone-d6 solution. Interproton distances within each ring of 1, as well as of 2, specifically C-deuterated samples of 1, calculated from either a combination of monoselective relaxation rates and NOE experiments or mono-and biselective relaxation rates, agreed within f0.2 A of those found in the crystal. However, substantially different values were obtained from nonselective relaxation rate measurements. The orientation of the glucosidic bond, as deduced from interresidue spinspin coupling (3J) between the C-l,H-4' and C-4',H-1 nuclei, is described by dihedral angles + of 45-50' and 4 of 25-30', These values are within the region of the allowed conformation as defined by the interatomic distances H-1-H-4' and H-1-H-5' obtained from relaxation, NOE data, and by computer simulation. The conformational properties of disaccharides have received a great deal of attention in recent decades, stimulated primarily by interest in the conformations of structurally related polysaccharides.

A 2D-HSQC-carbon selective/proton selective-constant time COSY, 2D-HSQC-(sel C, sel H)-CT COSY experiment, which is applicable to uniformly 13 C isotopically enriched samples (U-13 C) of oligosaccharides or oligonucleotides is proposed for the measurement of proton-proton RDC in crowded regions of 2D-spectra. In addition, a heteronuclear constant time-COSY experiment, 13 C-13 C CT-COSY, is proposed for the measurement of one bond carbon-carbon RDC in these molecules. These two methods provide an extension, to U-13 C molecules, of the original homonuclear constant time-COSY experiment proposed by for saccharides. The combination of a number of these RDC with NOE data may provide the method of choice to study oligosaccharide conformation in the free and receptor-bound state.
Computational studies of 13C NMR chemical shifts of saccharides
Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics, 2005
The 13 C NMR chemical shifts for a-D-lyxofuranose, a-D-lyxopyranose 1 C 4 , a-D-lyxopyranose 4 C 1 , a-D-glucopyranose 4 C 1 , and a-D-glucofuranose have been studied at ab initio and density-functional theory levels using TZVP quality basis set. The methods were tested by calculating the nuclear magnetic shieldings for tetramethylsilane (TMS) at different levels of theory using large basis sets. Test calculations on the monosaccharides showed B3LYP(TZVP) and BP86(TZVP) to be cost-efficient levels of theory for calculation of NMR chemical shifts of carbohydrates. The accuracy of the molecular structures and chemical shifts calculated at the B3LYP(TZVP) level is comparable to those obtained at the MP2(TZVP) level. Solvent effects were considered by surrounding the saccharides by water molecules and also by employing a continuum solvent model. None of the applied methods to consider solvent effects was successful. The B3LYP(TZVP) and MP2(TZVP) 13 C NMR chemical shift calculations yielded without solvent and rovibrational corrections an average deviation of 5.4 ppm and 5.0 ppm between calculated and measured shifts. A closer agreement between calculated and measured chemical shifts can be obtained by using a reference compound that is structurally reminiscent of saccharides such as neat methanol. An accurate shielding reference for carbohydrates can be constructed by adding an empirical constant shift to the calculated chemical shifts, deduced from comparisons of B3LYP(TZVP) or BP86(TZVP) and measured chemical shifts of monosaccharides. The systematic deviation of about 3 ppm for O 1 H chemical shifts can be designed to hydrogen bonding, whereas solvent effects on the 1 H NMR chemical shifts of C 1 H were found to be small. At the B3LYP(TZVP) level, the barrier for the torsional motion of the hydroxyl group at C 6 in a-D-glucofuranose was calculated to 7.5 kcal mol À1 . The torsional displacement was found to introduce large changes of up to 10 ppm to the 13 C NMR chemical shifts yielding uncertainties of about AE2 ppm in the chemical shifts.
Molecular conformations of a disaccharide investigated using NMR spectroscopy

The molecular structure of a-L-Rhap-(1 fi 2)-a-L-Rhap-OMe has been investigated using conformation sensitive NMR parameters: cross-relaxation rates, scalar 3 J CH couplings and residual dipolar couplings obtained in a dilute liquid crystalline phase. The order matrices of the two sugar residues are different, which indicates that the molecule cannot exist in a single conformation. The conformational distribution function, Pð/; wÞ, related to the two glycosidic linkage torsion angles / and w was constructed using the APME method, valid in the low orientational order limit. The APME approach is based on the additive potential (AP) and maximum entropy (ME) models. The analyses of the trajectories generated in molecular dynamics and Langevin dynamics (LD) computer simulations gave support to the distribution functions constructed from the experimental NMR parameters. It is shown that at least two conformational regions are populated on the Ramachandran map and that these regions exhibit very different molecular order.
