TLDR
A conformational model for the carbohydrate chain, deduced from the NMR data and consistent with hard-sphere exo-anomeric calculations shows that the rotamer population about the C-5--C-6 bond of beta-Man is restricted to the P omega = 180 rotamer, mainly.
Abstract
1H- and 13C-NMR assignments for the carbohydrate part of the glycopeptide alpha-D-Man-(1----6)-[beta-D-Xyl-(1----2)]-beta-D-Man-(1----4)-beta-D- GlcNAc-(1----4)-[alpha-L-Fuc-(1----3)]-beta-D-GlcNAc-(1----N)-Asn approximately, derived from the proteolytic enzyme bromelain (EC 3.4.22.4), have been obtained using homo- and heteronuclear correlation spectroscopy, two-dimensional homonuclear Hartmann-Hahn and nuclear Overhauser enhancement experiments. A conformational model for the carbohydrate chain, deduced from the NMR data and consistent with hard-sphere exo-anomeric calculations shows that the rotamer population about the C-5--C-6 bond of beta-Man is restricted to the P omega = 180 rotamer, mainly.

The Role of Protein Glycosylation in Allergy

TL;DR: Low binding affinity between IgE and plant N-glycans now drops out as a plausible explanation for the benign nature of CCDs, which may result from blocking antibodies induced by an incidental ‘immune therapy’ exerted by everyday contact with plant materials.

Structure of a legume lectin with an ordered N-linked carbohydrate in complex with lactose

TL;DR: The three-dimensional structure of the lactose complex of the Erythrina corallodendron lectin (EcorL), a dimer of N-glycosylated subunits, was determined crystallographically and refined at 2.0 angstrom resolution.

Core α1,3-fucose is a key part of the epitope recognized by antibodies reacting against plant N-linked oligosaccharides and is present in a wide variety of plant extracts

TL;DR: It is concluded that the alpha1, 3-fucose residue linked to the chitobiose core of plant glycoproteins is the most important residue in the epitope recognized by the two antibodies studied, but that the polyclonal anti-horseradish peroxidase antiserum also contains antibody populations that recognize the xyloselinked to the core mannose of many plant and gastropod N-linked oligosaccharides.

IgE to Cross-Reactive Carbohydrate Determinants: Analysis of the Distribution and Appraisal of the in vivo and in vitro Reactivity

TL;DR: IgE to cross-reacting carbohydrate determinants are common among the allergic population and the binding to skin test negative allergenic extracts further confirms their poor biological activity.

The structure of a neural specific carbohydrate epitope of horseradish peroxidase recognized by anti-horseradish peroxidase antiserum.

TL;DR: Reactions of reactivity with anti-HRP antiserum of various oligosaccharide derivatives obtained from the major fraction by exoglycosidase digestion and partial acid hydrolysis indicated that alpha 1----6-linked mannose andalpha 1----3-linked fucose are predominantly involved in the epitopic structure.

MLEV-17-based two-dimensional homonuclear magnetization transfer spectroscopy

TL;DR: In this article, a new mixing scheme based on the MLEV-16 composite pulse decoupling cycle (II) was proposed, which is less sensitive to pulse imperfections and provides net magnetization transfer over a substantial bandwidth with only limited rf power.

Application of phase sensitive two-dimensional correlated spectroscopy (COSY) for measurements of 1H-1H spin-spin coupling constants in proteins.

TL;DR: Two-dimensional correlated spectroscopy (COSY) is used for measurements of proton-proton spin-spin coupling constants in protein 1H NMR spectra.

Two‐dimensional spectroscopy. Application to nuclear magnetic resonance

TL;DR: In this article, the possibilities for the extension of spectroscopy to two dimensions are discussed, including the elucidation of energy level diagrams, the observation of multiple quantum transitions, and the recording of high-resolution spectra in inhomogenous magnetic fields.

Improved spectral resolution in cosy 1H NMR spectra of proteins via double quantum filtering.

TL;DR: The elimination of the dispersive character of the diagonal peaks in phase-sensitive, double quantum-filtered COSY spectra allows identification of cross peaks lying immediately adjacent to the diagonal, which represents a significant improvement over the conventional COSy experiment.
