Determination of the anomeric configuration in carbohydrates by longitudinal cross-correlated relaxation studies: application to mono- and disaccharides.

Overview

The role of cross-correlated relaxation between the anomeric proton chemical shift anisotropy (CSA) and its dipolar relaxation with nearby proton on the longitudinal relaxation in mono- and disaccharides at two magnetic field strengths has been investigated and shown to directly report the identity of their anomeric configuration.
