Fr. Taravel et al., CONFORMATIONAL-ANALYSIS OF CARBOHYDRATES INFERRED FROM CARBON-PROTON COUPLING-CONSTANTS, Journal de chimie physique et de physico-chimie biologique, 91(6), 1994, pp. 798-805
An approach which 'consists of a combination of measured one-bond and
three-bond carbon-proton coupling constants, Karplus-type relationship
s and theoretical calculations was used to precise the conformational
properties of carbohydrates in solution. Several examples of such trea
tment concerned various neutral oligosaccharides, methyl 4-thio-alpha-
maltoside, 3A,6A-anhydro-cyclomaltohexaose, and (1-->4)-linked alpha-D
-digalacturonic acid.
