Human serotransferrin contains two identical carbohydrate chains [l-3] about the primary Structure of which controversy exsists. Jamieson et al.[3] suppose a branched structure, wherein the branching mannose, glycosidically linked to N-acetylglucosamine/3l+ Asn, bears two chains: one consisting of a mannotriose, the other of an N-acetylglucosamine residue and both terminated by an N-acetylneuraminyliV-acetyllactosamine unit. Spik et al.[1, 2] propose a more symmetrical structure, built up from a mannotriosido-di-N-acetylchitobiose core substituted by two N-acetylneuraminyl-N-acetyllactosamine units. This structure, presented in fig. 1 differs essentially from the foregoing structure since it has only 3 mannose residues instead of 4.In-this paper the investigation by high-resolution ‘H nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy of the structure of the asialoglycopeptide (asialo-glycan-Asn) isolated from serotransferrin is described. In particular the signals of the anomeric protons, the mannose-H-2 protons and the N-acetyl methyl groups were analysed. For the assignment of these signals, spectra of the corresponding asialo-agalacto-glycan-Asn-Lys, the glyco-amino acids GlcNAcpl+ Asn [4] and Mancz (1+ 6) Man/3 (1+ 4) G1cNAc/3 (1+ 4)[Fu&l+ 6)] GlcNA@ l+ Asn [5] and the trisaccharide Mancu (l+ 3) Mar@(l+ 4) GlcNAc [6], representing partial structures of the asialo-glycan-Asn have been used as reference compounds. The monosaccharide units in these substances are numbered in correspondence to the numbering in the serotransferrin glycopeptides (see fig. 1 and table 1).
