Structural studies on the specific type-14 pneumococcal polysaccharide.
The structure of the Pneumococcus type-14 capsular polysaccharide has been reinvestigated by using methylation analysis, different specific degradations, and n.m.r. spectroscopy. It is concluded that the polysaccharide is composed of tetrasaccharide repeating-units having the structure: (formula: see text).
