The results of this work should demonstrate that the combination of highly selective deuteration and /sup 2/HNMR studies can lead to potentially valuable motional information. Deuterium at C-7 of the sialic acid residues of glycoproteins was achieved by using limited quantities of aqueous sodium metaperiodate to cleave selectively the C-7, C-8, C-9 triol moiety followed by reduction using sodium borodeuteride. The /sup 2/HNMR spectrum shows the sensitivity which can be obtained. The substrate is bovine submaxillary mucin, which has potentially one deuterium substituent attached to each of the 300 sialic acid residues per molecule. Selected monodeuteration of C-6 at the terminal galactose residues of suitable glycoproteins was effected using sodium borodeuteride as the reductant. The lysine groups of fetuin were reductively aminated with hexadeuteroacetone on lysine residues. An approximate estimation of the upper limit for the overall motional times can be obtained from the 1/2 height time width of the deuterium resonances. 3 figures.
