title: Structure of the 13C-enriched O-deacetylated glucuronoxylomannan of Cryptococcus neoformans serotype A determined by NMR spectroscopy.
abstract: The complete assignment of 1H and 13C chemical shifts for 99% uniformly 13C-labeled O-deacetylated glucuronoxylomannan (GXM) of Cryptococcus neoformans serotype A isolate 9759-Mu-1 was accomplished by the analysis of HCCH-TOCSY and HCCH-COSY spectra. The sequence of the glycosyl residues was determined by a GHMBC experiment using 20% uniformly 13C-labeled GXM; GXM was prepared by a novel procedure that insured the virtual exclusion of adjacent 13C-labeled carbon atoms. For each residue in the GXM of 9759-Mu-1 we determined its linkage position, its anomeric configuration, and its position in the repeating sequence as follows: [sequence: see text]
