Enzymatic reduction of the methylsulfinylxylofuranosyl (MSX) groups in lipoarabinomannan provides proof of the absolute configuration of MSX and a possible biochemical mechanism for oxidative protection in Mycobacterium tuberculosis.
脂阿拉伯甘露聚糖中甲基亚磺酰木呋喃糖基(MSX)基团的酶促还原为MSX的绝对构型提供了证据,并为结核分枝杆菌的氧化保护提供了一种可能的生化机制。
