Abstract:
The structure of the capsular polysaccharide from Klebsiella type 52 has been elucidated using an improved and extended version of the computerised approach CASPER and NMR spectroscopy as principal methods. A previous suggestion to the structure but without the anomeric prefixes, could be shown correct [H. Björndal et al., Carbohydr. Res., 31 (1973) 93-100]. The polysaccharide has a hexasaccharide repeat with the following structure: [formula: see text]
