title: Internal motion in carbohydrates as probed by n.m.r. spectroscopy.
abstract: In the present study a combination of proton and carbon relaxation rates have been measured for several oligosaccharides at different temperatures. Correlation times, which have been calculated from both sets of data, have been compared in an attempt to establish the relative rate of internal motion. All the data suggest that these motions are not slow with respect to the overall tumbling.
