Mass spectra and NMR spectra of gangliosides containing fucose.
Two gangliosides containing fucose, prepared from minipig posterior root ganglion, were analyzed as methylated, methylated-reduced and methylated-reduced-trimethylsilylated derivatives by mass spectrometry and NMR spectroscopy and shown to have the following structures:Fuc alpha 1 leads to Hex beta 1 leads to 3HexNac (comes from NeuAc) beta 1 leads to Hex beta 1 leads to Hex beta 1 leads to 1Ceramide Fuc-Hex-HexNAc (NeuGc)-Hex-Hex-Ceramide.
