Structural studies of the capsular polysaccharide from Streptococcus pneumoniae type 2, a reinvestigation.
The structure of the capsular polysaccharide from Streptococcus pneumoniae type 2 has been reinvestigated, specific degradations and n.m.r. spectroscopy being the main methods used. It is concluded that the polysaccharide is composed of hexasaccharide repeating-units having the following structure, which differs from that previously proposed. formula; see text)
