High relevanceStructure of a water-soluble heteropolysaccharide from fruiting bodies of Hericium erinaceus
Hericium erinaceus
Key points
- A new heteropolysaccharide (HEPF4), with a molecular weight of 2.03×10⁴Da as determined by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), was obtained from the fruiting bodies of Hericium erinaceus
- It is composed of 3-O-methylrhamnose, l-fucose, d-galactose and d-glucose in the ratio of 0.12:1.00:3.27:0.28
- Its chemical structure was characterized by sugar and methylation analysis, along with ¹H and ¹³C NMR spectroscopy, including NOESY and HMBC experiments for linkage and sequence analysis
- The polysaccharide is composed of a tetrasaccharide repeating unit (described in the results section)
- HEPF4 also contains a minor proportion of glucose and 3-O-methylrhamnose which is believed to terminate the polymer main chain

Abstract
A new heteropolysaccharide (HEPF4), with a molecular weight of 2.03×10⁴Da as determined by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), was obtained from the fruiting bodies of Hericium erinaceus. It is composed of 3-O-methylrhamnose, l-fucose, d-galactose and d-glucose in the ratio of 0.12:1.00:3.27:0.28. Its chemical structure was characterized by sugar and methylation analysis, along with ¹H and ¹³C NMR spectroscopy, including NOESY and HMBC experiments for linkage and sequence analysis. The polysaccharide is composed of a tetrasaccharide repeating unit (described in the results section). HEPF4 also contains a minor proportion of glucose and 3-O-methylrhamnose which is believed to terminate the polymer main chain.
