Structural determination of carbohydrates is mostly performed by liquid-state NMR, and it is
a demanding task because the NMR signals of these biomolecules explore a rather narrow …

Carbohydrates are essential to various life activities in living organisms and serve as the
central component in many biomaterials. As an emerging technique with steadily improving …

Glycans, carbohydrate molecules in the realm of biology, are present as biomedically
important glycoconjugates and a characteristic aspect is that their structures in many …

Carbohydrates play key roles in biological recognition processes, 1, 2 in development of
diseases, 3 and in many important areas of food and technical industry. The function of …

The combination of structural diversity at several levels and limited chemical shift dispersion
ensures that NMR spectra of carbohydrates are relatively difficult to interpret. This …

Notable recent developments in NMR methods used to study carbohydrate structure include
the application of tailored homo-and heteronuclear (multi-) selective two-and three …

The diversity in molecular arrangements and dynamics displayed by glycans renders
traditional NMR strategies, employed for proteins and nucleic acids, insufficient. Because of …

Structural determination of N-and O-linked glycans as well as polysaccharides is hampered
by the limited spectral dispersion. The computerized approach CASPER, an acronym for …

Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) has been widely used as an analytical chemistry
technique to investigate the molecular structure and conformation of polysaccharides …

Publisher Summary This chapter deals with the use of nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR)
spectroscopy in the study of mono–and oligosaccharides. The importance of NMR …
