Smith degradation of the O-antigenic polysaccharide of Salmonella Dakar: structural studies of the products
摘要:
Two different oligosaccharides were obtained from the Smith degradation of the O-polysaccharide isolated from the lipopolysaccharide of Salmonella Dakar. The structures of these oligosaccharides were investigated by chemical analysis, NMR spectroscopy and MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry. The following structures of these products were determined: alpha-D-Ga1pNAc-(1 -> -4)-alpha-D-Quip3NAc-(1 -> 3)-alpha-L-Rhap-(1 -> 2)-threitol and[GRAPHICS]where Quip3NAc is 3-acetamido-3,6-dideoxyglucose. The reaction products confirmed the structure of the repeating unit of the Salmonella Dakar O-polysaccharide reported previously [Kumirska, J.; Szafranck, J.; Czerwicka, M.; Paszkiewicz, M.; Dziadziuszko, H.; Kunikowska, D.; Stepnowski, P.
