✦ Synopsis


A fundamental problem in the determination of molecular structure by n.m.r. spectroscopy is insufficient experimental constraints. This problem is particularly marked for oligosaccharides, where few constraints are available across glycosidic linkages. By calculating distances as a function of dihedral angle, it is shown that, in general, two n.0.e. constraints result in two possible conformations for each glycosidic linkage, one of which can usually be discarded on the basis of model building or energy calculations. Using these calculations, an estimate of the uncertainty in the structure can be obtained.

## Conformations of (l-2)-, (l&+3)-, and (l-4)linked disaccharide methyl glycosides involving aldohexopyranose residues have been studied on the basis of the inter-unit n.0.e. and theoretical calculations using atom-atom potential functions. The preferred conformations and the n.0.e. values are de
