Abstract
The preferred conformation in aqueous solution of oligosaccharides related to the complex‐type carbohydrate portion of glycoproteins has been inferred from high‐resolution nuclear magnetic resonance data (both 1H and 13C) combined with hard‐sphere exo‐anomeric calculations. The results indicate that the N‐acetyl‐lactosamine units are arranged in such a way that they are widely separated in space. Thus, these carbohydrates can cover large surface areas of the attached protein and provide good targets for recognition by other proteins.
