Abstract
Complete assignments of all anomeric resonances in the proton and carbon spectra of the N‐linked oligosaccharide units of fetuin were made using one‐ and two‐dimensional NMR spectroscopy. We are able to confirm the presence of microheterogeneity in the N‐acetylneuraminic acid linkages to the galactose residues and the presence of a unique triantennary structure which carries a side chain: NeuAcα(1–3)Galβ(1–3) GlcNacβ(1–4)‐. Anomeric carbon chemical shifts changes resulting from long‐range conformational effects were observed.
