Carbohydrate structure can be elucidated or confirmed by using NMR spectroscopy as the prime technique. Prediction of 1H and 13C NMR chemical shifts by computational approaches makes this assignment process more efficient and the program CASPER can perform this task rapidly. It does so by relying on chemical shift data of mono-, di-, and trisaccharides. In order to improve accuracy and quality of these predictions we have assigned 1H and 13C NMR chemical shifts of 30 monosaccharides, 17 disaccharides, 10 trisaccharides and one tetrasaccharide; in total 58 compounds. Due to different rotamers, ring forms, α- and β-anomeric forms and pD conditions this resulted in 74 1H and 13C NMR chemical shift data sets, all of which were refined using total line-shape analysis for the 1H resonances in order to obtain accurate chemical shifts. Subsequent NMR chemical shift predictions for three sialic acid-containing oligosaccharides, viz., GD1a, a disialyl-LNnT hexasaccharide and a polysialic acid-lactose decasaccharide, and NMR-based structural elucidations of two O-antigen polysaccharides from E. coli O174 were performed by the CASPER program (http://www.casper.organ.su.se/casper/) resulting in very good to excellent agreement between experimental and predicted data thereby demonstrating its utility for carbohydrate compounds that have been chemically or enzymatically synthesized, structurally modified or isolated from nature.
