Abstract
The structure of the saccharide part of the lipopolysaccharide from Haemophilus influenzae strain AH1-3 (lic3+) has been investigated. The saccharide was obtained from the lipopolysaccharide by mild acid hydrolysis followed by high-performance anion-exchange chromatography, and isolated fractions were studied by methylation analysis, NMR spectroscopy, and FAB mass spectrometry. The major saccharide is a heptasaccharide with the following structure, [formula: see text] in which Kdo is 3-deoxy-D-manno-oct-2-ulosonic acid and PEA is 2-aminoethyl phosphate. Hep is identified as L-glycero-D-manno-heptose. The absolute configuration of the phosphorylated heptose is tentative only.Entities:
