title: Structure of a major oligosaccharide of Taka-amylase A.
abstract: The structures of a major oligosaccharide of Taka-amylase A, shown below, is proposed based on the results of chemical (methylation and acetolysis) and enzymatic (digestions with exo and endo-glycosidases) analyses. This structure is an amendment of that proposed by Yamaguchi et al. (1971) (J. Biochem. 70, 587-594), in which one more mannose residue is attached (Formula: see text) through an alpha 1,2 linkage to the mannose residue which is alpha 1,3-linked to the intermost mannose residue.
