Om. Hanniffy et al., Chemical structure of the core oligosaccharide of aerotolerant Campylobacter jejuni O : 2 lipopolysaccharide, CARBOHY RES, 330(2), 2001, pp. 223-229
The structure of the core oligosaccharide of aerotolerant Campylobacter jej
uni O:2 lipopolysaccharide was determined and found to contain 3-deoxy-D-ma
nno-octulosonic acid (Kdo), L-glycero-D-manno-heptose (LD-Hep), D-galactose
, D-glucose, and phosphorylethanolamine (PEtn). Based on H-1, C-13 and P-31
NMR spectroscopic studies including 2D COSY, TOCSY, ROESY and heteronuclea
r H-1-P-31 and HMQC experiments it was established that the oligosaccharide
has the following structure:
