β¦ 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.
