To gain insight into intramolecular carbohydrate-protein interactions at the molecular level, the solution structure of differently deglycosylated variants of the alpha-subunit of human chorionic gonadotropin have been studied by NMR spectroscopy. Significant differences in chemical shifts and NOE intensities were observed for amino acid residues close to the carbohydrate chain at Asn78 upon deglycosylation beyond Asn78-bound GlcNAc ...
