Abstract
An approach is presented for the determination of the branch location of 1 or 2 extra N-acetyllactosamine units in sialo N-linked carbohydrate chains from glycoproteins. Tetraantennary oligosaccharides containing extra N-acetyllactosamine units were digested with endo-beta-galactosidase, followed by treatment with N-acetyl-beta-glucosaminidase, yielding products which could be analysed by 1H-NMR spectroscopy, thereby
