Theoretical and NMR-based Conformational Analysis of Phosphodiester-linked Disaccharides

Abstract The conformational behaviour of three phosphate-bridged dimannosides was studied by means of NMR and computational molecular modelling. First, the conformations of the phosphodiester linker were determined by quantum chemistry methods using dimethyl phosphate as a model. Then, a series of c...
