Journal ArticleDOI
Conformational analysis of furanose rings with PSEUROT: parametrization for rings possessing the arabino, lyxo, ribo, and xylo stereochemistry and application to arabinofuranosides.
TL;DR: D density functional theory methods are used to generate a family of envelope conformers for methyl furanosides 1-8 that are consistent with the low-energy conformers identified from previous computational and X-ray crystallographic studies of 1 and 2.
Journal ArticleDOI
Chemistry and biology of arabinofuranosyl- and galactofuranosyl-containing polysaccharides.
TL;DR: A number of chemical syntheses of oligofuranosides have been reported and new methods for their assembly have been developed, providing a greater understanding of the biosynthetic pathways by which these glycans are assembled.
Journal ArticleDOI
Solid-state 17O NMR in carbohydrates

TL;DR: In this article, the first-coordination sphere around oxygen was used to predict the 17 O quadrupolar coupling constants and asymmetry parameters of methyl a-D-glucopyranoside.
Journal ArticleDOI
Biosynthetic precursors of fungal pyrrolizidines, the loline alkaloids.
Jimmy D. Blankenship,Justin B. Houseknecht,Sitaram Pal,Lowell P. Bush,Robert B. Grossman,Christopher L. Schardl +5 more
TL;DR: The authors incorporated labeled L-proline and L-homoserine into the 1-aminopyrrolizidine, N-formylloline, and showed that incorporation was not achieved via aspartyl semialdehyde or S-adenosylmethionine, but probably involved a highly novel N--C bond-forming gamma-substitution reaction.
Journal ArticleDOI
Conformational studies of methyl 3-O-methyl-alpha-D-arabinofuranoside: an approach for studying the conformation of furanose rings.
TL;DR: These calculations indicate that entropic contributions to the Gibbs free energy are important determinants of the Boltzmann distribution for the conformational preferences of 1 in the gas phase.
