B. Jann et al., NMR INVESTIGATION OF THE 6-DEOXY-L-TALOSE-CONTAINING O45, O45-RELATED(O45REL), AND O66 POLYSACCHARIDES OF ESCHERICHIA-COLI, Carbohydrate research, 278(1), 1995, pp. 155-165
The structures of the 6-deoxytalose-containing O-specific polysacchari
des from the O45 antigen, an O45-related antigen (O45rel), and the O66
antigen (lipopolysaccharides, LPSs) of Escherichia coli were elucidat
ed by chemical characterization and by one- and two-dimensional H-1 an
d C-13 NMR Spectroscopy. The O45 and O45-related polysaccharides have
the following general structure. [GRAPHICS] For the O45 antigen, X is
alpha-D-Fuc pNAc and for the O45-related antigen, X is beta-D-Glc pNAc
. The structure of the O66 polysaccharide is [GRAPHICS] CS]
