Structural studies of the Shigella boydii type 5 O-antigen polysaccharide.
The structure of the Shigella boydii type 5 O-antigen polysaccharide has been investigated by sugar and methylation analyses, and specific degradations. It is proposed that it is composed of hexasaccharide repeating units with the following structure. The repeating unit also contains an O-acetyl group, linked to one of the primary positions.
