The structure of heparosan capsular polysaccharide (CPS) has been determined using enzymatic digestion with nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy and mass spectrometry. Previous errors in the assignment of the glycolipid acceptor structure, from which heparosan is extended, have been corrected. The structure of heparosan CPS is GlcNAc α-1,[4GlcA β-1,4GlcNAc α-1,]n4GlcA β-1,[4Kdo β-2,7Kdo β-2,]0 or 14Kdo β-2,7Kdo β-2,4Kdo β-2,7Kdo β-2,4Kdo β-2,7Kdo β-2,4Kdo β-PG-I (C16:0 or C18:0) (where n is ~250 for a CPS of 100 kDa).

Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy remains one of the core analytical platforms for metabolomics, providing complementary chemical information to others, such as mass spectrometry, and offering particular advantages in some areas of research on account of its inherent robustness, reproducibility, and phenomenal dynamic range [...]

The study described the isolation of β-D-galactopyranoside seco-phytoporphyrin from Atropa belladonna and Solanum tuberosum yellow leaves. Column chromatography was applied for its isolation. The UV-Vis, mass spectrometry and NMR spectroscopy were used for the structure confirmation. The results demonstrate that the two plants that the same chlorophyll catabolite structure.
