    Abstract:
    A synthetic octasaccharide fragment (2) of the O-specific polysaccharide (1) of Shigella dysenteriae type 1 has been studied as its methyl glycoside by one- and two-dimensional homo- and heteronuclear NMR spectroscopy. Complete 1H and 13C NMR assignments have been generated, and the 13C spin-lattice relaxation times have been measured for the octasaccharide 2. A congener (6) of this octasaccharide containing one D-galactose residue with a specific 13C label at C-1 has been synthesized and used to measure interglycosidic 13C-1H coupling by the 2D J-resolved 1H NMR method. From the NMR data, three types of conformational restraints were developed: (a) 29 inter-residue, distance restraints; (b) 48 intra-residue, ring atom dihedral angle restraints, and (c) one heteronuclear, inter-residue dihedral angle restraint. The use of these restraints in a restrained molecular dynamics computation with simulated annealing yielded a conformation resembling a short, irregular spiral, with methyl substituents on the exterior.
