Carbon-13 nuclear magnetic resonance spectrometry of globotriaosylceramide
HA Nunez and CC Sweeley
Resonances in the carbon-13 natural abundance, proton-decoupled, 90.5 MHz
nuclear magnetic resonance spectrum of globotriaosylceramide were assigned
to specific carbon nuclei. The chemical shifts were rationalized in terms
of the number of sugar residues, the sugar ring structures, the positions
and anomeric configurations of the intersugar linkages, and the approximate
degree of unsaturation of the alkyl chains of the ceramide moiety.
