Abstract:
A purified sulfated alpha-L-galactofucan from Clavelina sp. has been studied before and after desulfation, using periodate oxidation, methylation analysis, and n.m.r. spectroscopy, and shown to be composed mainly of 3-sulfated 4-linked alpha-L-galactopyranosyl residues. There was also a small proportion of 3-sulfated 4-linked alpha-L-fucose residues.
