Structure elucidation of the core regions from Citrobacter O4 and O36 lipopolysaccharides by chemical and enzymic methods, gas chromatography/mass spectrometry, and NMR spectroscopy at 500 MHz

Abstract
Novel enterobacterial core oligosaccharides were isolated from Citrobacter 04 and 036 lipopolysaccharides, and their structures were determined by methylation analysis, Smith degradation and enzymatic degradations, gas chromatography/mass spectrometry, and two-dimensional phase-sensitive correlated, relayed coherence transfer, double-quantum, triple-quantum-filtered, and nuclear Overhauser effect (NOE) 1H NMR spectroscopy at 500 MHz. In the formulas, all hexose residues are D-hexopyranoses, and heptoses are L-glycero-D-manno-heptopyranoses.
