Abstract
The conformation is described of the sialylalpha(2-> 3/6)N-acetyllactosamine structural element, frequently occurring in glycoproteins. NOE spectroscopy of NeuAcalpah(2-> 3) Galbeta(1-> 4)GlcNAcbeta(1-> N)Asn and NeuAcalpha-(2-> 6)Galbeta(1-> 4)GlcNAcbeta(1-> N)Asn is presented and for each glycosidic linkage, except for the alpha(2->6)-linkage, a number of interglycosidic NOEs are measured. The analysis of these effects
