New Application note: Polysaccharide chain analysis

Sugars play a role in everyday life from food to medicine and much more. Sugars can form polymer chains with different lengths and degrees of branching that can alter their physical and chemical properties. In Application Note 8: Polysaccharide Chain Analysis we measure length and branching of polysaccharides using the Spinsolve benchtop NMR spectrometer. The spectrum …

Benchtop Biochemistry: Looking at Glucose Anomers with Spinsolve

NMR is a common tool used in biochemistry for structural analysis of macromolecules. Here we use the glucose as a simple small molecule system to show that you can observe different conformations within biomolecules using the Spinsolve benchtop NMR spectrometer. In solution, D-glucose is predominantly in the form of a pyranose ring, but that ring has two possible anomeric conformations. …
