The intrinsic flexibility of glycans complicates the study of their structures and dynamics, which are often important for their biological function. NMR has provided insights into the conformational, dynamic and recognition features of glycans, but suffers from severe chemical shift degeneracy. We employed labelled glycans to explore the conformational behaviour of a β(1-6)-Glc hexasaccharide model through residual dipolar couplings (RDCs). RDC delivered information on the relative orientation of specific residues along the glycan chain and provided experimental clues for the existence of certain geometries. The use of two different aligning media demonstrated the adaptability of flexible oligosaccharide structures to different environments.

Peak splitting due to the residual dipolar coupling (RDC) represents a potentially applicable spectral parameter for diagnostic purposes. Several of the skeletal muscle metabolites were previously reported to display the RDC splitting inin vivoMR spectra. We constructed anin vitromodel consisting of mechanically stretched gelatin cylinder soaked with the muscle metabolite carnosine. We describe the preparation procedure of an upscaled 50 mL stretched gelatin sample with carnosine that can be used as a phantom for setting-up and testing of spectroscopic measurements of RDC in a MR scanner. We also report on analysis of the RDC splittings in1H and13C high resolution MR spectra of carnosine.

Simple modifications of the gradient enhanced version of the TROSY experiment allow to obtain four different spectra containing each one of the components of the H–N doublet in15N labelled proteins. By measuring the difference in peak position among these four spectra, residual dipolar coupling values can be obtained for medium sized proteins. This experiment, which exploits the use of pulse field gradients to select the15N coherence pathway, produces excellent results in terms of water suppression. Moreover, tuning of a single delay in the sequence reduces notably the presence of artifacts. The performance of this suite of experiments, that we called TEC (Trosy–E.Cosy) experiment, is tested against aJ-modulation method, inherently more accurate but more time consuming, for the accuracy in the observed values of residual dipolar couplings. For larger proteins, the use of this strategy allows to select the most favourable combination of peaks giving the sharpest signals.
