The solution conformation of C-glycosyl analogues of the sialyl-Tn antigen

Carbohydr Res. 2007 Sep 3;342(12-13):1974-82. doi: 10.1016/j.carres.2007.03.021. Epub 2007 Mar 28.

Abstract

The conformational behavior of two C-glycosyl analogues of the sialyl-Tn antigen has been determined by a combination of NMR methods and molecular mechanics calculations. Both compounds show a major solution conformation that is drastically different from the major one of the natural compound.
