A new type of ganglioside. The structures of three novel gangliosides from the fat body of the frog.
Three unusual gangliosides were isolated from frog fat body, and their structures were characterized. The carbohydrate structures were elucidated by determination of the molar ratio of the individual monosaccharides, methylation analysis, galactosidase treatment, and chromium trioxide oxidation studies. The following novel structures were proposed: [Formula: see text].
