Current practices for structure analysis of extremely large molecular weight polysaccharides via solution-state NMR spectroscopy incorporate partial depolymerization protocols that enable polysaccharide solubilization in suitable solvents. Non-specific depolymerization techniques utilized for glycosidic bond cleavage, such as chemical degradation or ultrasonication, potentially generate structure fragments that can complicate the complete characterization of polysaccharide structures. Utilization of appropriate enzymes for polysaccharide degradation, on the other hand, requires prior structure information and optimal enzyme activity conditions that are not available to the analyst working with novel or unknown compounds. Herein, we describe the application of a permethylation strategy that allows the complete dissolution of the intact polysaccharides for NMR structure characterization. This approach is utilized for NMR analysis of Xylella fastidiosa EPS, which is essential for the virulence the plant pathogen that affects multiple commercial crops and is responsible for multibillion dollar losses each year.
