title: A natural carbohydrate substrate for Mycobacterium tuberculosis methionine sulfoxide reductase A.
abstract: Enzymatic reduction of the methylsulfinylxylofuranosyl (MSX) groups in lipoarabinomannan provides proof of the absolute configuration of MSX and a possible biochemical mechanism for oxidative protection in Mycobacterium tuberculosis.
