Analyses of Sugar-Protein Interactions by NMR

  • Chapter
Experimental Glycoscience

Abstract

Analysis of sugar-protein interaction is an important step for elucidating the structure and function relationships of glycans. NMR spectroscopy serves an invaluable tool for this purpose because it is applicable for detecting weak sugar-protein interactions (K d ∼ mM), identifying glycotope recognized by protein, characterizing conformation of oligosaccharide bound to protein, and determining the modes of interaction between oligosaccharide and protein in solution at atomic level (Fig. 1).
