A full assignment of proton resonances for an alpha(1-3)-linked fucose residue in keratan sulphate from bovine articular cartilage

Full proton NMR assignments have been achieved for the alpha(1-3)-linked fucose residues contained in alkaline borohydride reduced keratan sulphate chains derived from bovine articular cartilage. This involved 500 MHz spectroscopy at 60 degrees C and included COSY and RELAYED-COSY determinations
