MA’ATanalysis has been applied to model the conformational properties ofN-acetyl side-chains in biologically important GlcNAc and ManNAc monosaccharides and in a βGlcNAc-(1→4)-βGlcNAc disaccharide. Density functional theory calculations were conducted to obtain parameterized equations that relate the magnitudes and signs of 10 spin-coupling constants to conformations of the C2–N2 bonds of GlcNAc and ManNAc. Six of these equations were used with experimentalJ-couplings, measured in H2O/2H2O and DMSO-d6solvents in selectively13C-labeled compounds, to model the C1–C2–N2–C1′ torsion angle (θ1) in GlcNAc and ManNAc residues.MA’ATanalysis gave mean values of θ1of 106° for αGlcNAc and ∼116° for βGlcNAc residues, with circular standard deviations (CSDs) of 21–22° in aqueous solution, in excellent agreement with those obtained by aqueous molecular dynamics (MD) simulation. Parameter space plots revealed uniqueMA’ATfits of the data, and root mean squared deviations (<0.2 Hz) were twofold smaller than those back-calculated from MD models, indicating that theMA’ATmodels better fit the experimentalJ-couplings. Context effects on both θ1values were found to be small in a βGlcNAc-(1→4)-βGlcNAc disaccharide.MA’ATanalysis gave a mean value of θ1of 249° for αManNAc in H2O/2H2O, with a CSD of ∼19°, with both values in good agreement with MD.MA’ATmodels ofN-acetyl side-chains are similar to those obtained previously forO-acetyl side-chains (J. Phys. Chem. B2017,121,66–77). BothO- andN-acetylation conformationally constrain the C–O or C–N bonds relative to the same bonds in unsubstituted compounds. The present work confirms the ability ofMA’ATanalysis to reveal relatively small changes in mean molecular torsion angles in solution and provides additional evidence of the method as an experimental tool complementary to MD simulation.
