title: Structural determination of three glycoasparagines isolated from the urine of a patient with aspartylglycosaminuria.
abstract: Three different glycoasparagines have been isolated from the urine of a patient with aspartylglycosaminuria and their structures determined using sugar, amino acid and methylation analysis, enzymic degradation and measurements of the optical rotations. The structures were 2-acetamido-1-N-(4'-L-aspartyl)-2-deoxy-beta-D-glucopyranosylamine (yield 135 mg/l) beta-D-galactopyranosyl-(1 leads to 4)-2-acetamido-1-N-(4'-L-aspartyl)-2-deoxy-beta-D-glucopyranosylamine (yield 35 mg/l), and alpha-D-mannopyranosyl-(1 leads to 6)-beta-D-mannopyranosyl-(1 leads to 4)-2-acetamido-2-deoxy-beta-D-glucopyranosyl-(1 leads to 4)-2-acetamido-1-N-(4'-L-aspartyl)-2-deoxy-beta-D-glucopyranosylamine (yield 30 mg/l). The first two compounds have previously been described, whereas the third compound is different from any of the glycoasparagines isolated before.
