Glycosylglycerolipids are essential components of plant and bacterial membranes. These lipids exert central roles in physiological processes such as photosynthesis in plants or to maintain membrane stability in bacteria. They are composed of a glycerol backbone esterified with two fatty acids at the sn-1 and sn-2 positions, and carbohydrate moieties connected via a glycosidic bond at the sn-3 position. Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy is a state-of-the-art technique to determine the nature of the bound carbohydrates as well as their anomeric configurations. Here we describe the analysis of intact glycosylglycerolipids by NMR spectroscopy to determine structural details of their sugar head groups without the need of chemical derivatization.
