The structure of galactoxylomannan, a capsular polysaccharide from the opportunistic yeast Cryptococcus neoformans, was re-examined by NMR spectroscopy and GC-MS. The residue that is 3-linked to the side chain galactose and was previously assigned as beta-D-xylose [Vaishnav, V. V.; Bacon, B. E.; O'Neill, M.; Cherniak, R. Carbohydr. Res.1998, 306, 315-330] was determined to be beta-D-glucuronic acid. A revised structure for this polymer is presented, along with a proposal that this compound be termed glucuronoxylomannogalactan (GXMGal).
通过核磁共振光谱法和气相色谱-质谱联用技术,对新型隐球菌(一种机会性酵母)的荚膜多糖半乳甘露聚糖的结构进行了重新研究。与侧链半乳糖以3-连接的残基,之前被指定为β-D-木糖[Vaishnav, V. V.; Bacon, B. E.; O'Neill, M.; Cherniak, R. Carbohydr. Res.1998, 306, 315 - 330],现确定为β-D-葡萄糖醛酸。本文给出了该聚合物的修订结构,并提议将此化合物命名为葡萄糖醛酸木糖甘露半乳聚糖(GXMGal)。
