Monosaccharide composition and glycosyl-linkage analysis of RSH.
| MONOSUGAR | COMPOSITION (mole%) | GLYCOSYL LINKAGE | % PEAK AREA |
|---|---|---|---|
| Arabinose (Ara) | 79 | Terminally linked arabinofuranosyl residue (t-Araf) | 8 |
| 3-linked arabinofuranosyl residue (3-Araf) | 21 | ||
| 2-linked arabinofuranosyl residue (2-Araf) | 54 | ||
| Galactose (Gal) | 15 | Terminally linked galactopyranosyl residue (t-Gal) | 15 |
| Rhamnose (Rha) | 2 | ||
| Xylose (Xyl) | 2 | ||
| Glucose (Glc) | 2 | 2-linked ribofuranosyl residue (2-Ribf) | 2 |
Notes: Monosugar analysis results were obtained from Terneus.20 Trace amount (0.3%) of 2,4-linked Ara was also observed.
