title: Primary structure of a novel N-glycosidic carbohydrate unit, derived from hen ovomucoid. A 500-MHz 1H-NMR study.
abstract: The N-glycosidic carbohydrate chains of hen beta-ovomucoid were released from the protein by hydrazinolysis, and separated by HPLC. Primary structural analysis of 3 major fractions was conducted by applying 500-MHz 1H-NMR spectroscopy in combination with methylation analysis. One of the fractions investigated appeared to consist of an intersected penta-antennary structure extended with one Gal residue. The location of the latter in a certain branch could be established unambiguously by NMR. This structure is a novel member of the family of N-glycosidic carbohydrates of glycoproteins.
