L-Iduronic acid (IdoA) is the major uronic acid component of the glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) dermatan sulfate and heparin. It is also present in heparan sulfate although here in a minor amount relative to its carbon-5 epimer glucuronic acid.

IdoA is a hexapyranose sugar. Most hexapyranoses are stable in one of two chair conformations ¹C₄ or ⁴C₁. L-iduronate is different and adopts more than one solution conformation, with an equilibrium existing between three low energy conformers. These are the ¹C₄ and ⁴C₁ chair forms and an additional ^{2S₀ skew-boat conformation.}

IdoA may be modified by the addition of a O-sulfate group at carbon position 2 to form 2-O-sulfo-L-iduronic acid (IdoA2S).

When internally positioned within an oligosaccharide the ¹C₄ and ²S₀ conformations (shown below for IdoA2S) predominate.

Proton NMR spectroscopy can be used to track changes in the balance of this equilibrium.^[1]
