Treatment of Tamm-Horsfall urinary glycoprotein with Bacteroides fragilis endo-beta-galactosidase over a range of enzyme concentrations, pH and temperature resulted in the release of a small but constant proportion of the terminal sugars, which indicates the presence in the glycoprotein of relatively few enzyme-susceptible -GlcNAc beta 1-3Gal beta 1-4GlcNAc- units. Three oligosaccharides were isolated from the enzyme digest and characterized as Gal beta 1-4GlcNAc beta 1-3Gal, NeuAc alpha 2-3Gal beta 1-4 GlcNAc beta 1-3Gal and GalNAc beta 1-4(NeuAc alpha 2-3)Gal beta 1-4GlcNAc beta 1-3Gal by methylation analysis and exo-glycosidase digestion. The alditols of these oligosaccharides and related structures were examined by 500 MHz 1H-n.m.r. spectroscopy aided by spin-spin decoupling and two-dimensional correlated spectroscopy. An almost complete assignment of proton shifts was possible, and significant differences between the signals of some of the protons in the blood-group-Sda-active oligosaccharide III and literature values for the corresponding signals in the structurally related Cad-blood-group determinant are noted.

500 MHz 1H n.m.r. spectroscopy has been used in structural studies of three linear and five branched oligosaccharides of N-acetyl-lactosamine-type that were released from desialylated blood group O erythrocyte glycopeptides by treatment with the endo-beta-galactosidase of Bacteroides fragilis followed by reduction. The following oligosaccharide alditols were characterized: (formula; see book)

In this study we investigated the structure of an acidic fucose-containing pentasaccharide released from bovine submaxillary-gland mucin by alkaline-borohydride treatment. The structure, determined by a combination of one-dimensional and two-dimensional 1H-n.m.r. spectroscopy at 270 MHz and methylation analysis involving g.l.c.-m.s., was as follows: Fuc alpha(1-2)Gal beta(1-4)GlcNAc beta(1-3)[NeuAc alpha(2-6)]GalNAcol This pentasaccharide is a novel structure and is the first report of a blood-group-H type 2 determinant on a submaxillary-gland mucin.

A complete assignment of the 1H and 13C n.m.r. signals of the lichen triterpenoid 12α-acetoxyfern-9(11)-en-3 β-ol (lb) has been achieved by using one- and two-dimensional n.m.r. techniques. Evidence in support of one of two recently advanced assignments of the methyl group resonances of fern-9(11)-en-3-β-ol (1a) is presented.

High resolution two-dimensional 1H and 13C nuclear magnetic resonance at 500 MHz was used in combination with molecular modelling to solve the structures of the antigenic O-polysaccharides produced by Escherichiahermannii strains ATCC 33650 and 33652. Classical structural methods such as methylation analysis, selective and partial hydrolysis, and periodate oxidations confirmed that the O-polysaccharides had a branched tetrasaccharide repeating unit with the structure:[Formula: see text]Keywords: Escherichiahermannii, lipopolysaccharide, magnetic resonance, polysaccharide.
