Low relevanceStructural Features of an Anti-Diabetic Polysaccharide (TAP) from Tremella aurantia
Tremella fuciformis
Key points
- The structure of an anti-diabetic polysaccharide (TAP) obtained from the fruiting bodies of Tremella aurantia was investigated by methylation analysis, Smith degradation, partial acid hydrolysis, 13C-NMR spectrometry, and enzymatic digestion
- The results suggested that TAP was composed of (1-->3)-linked alpha-D-mannopyranosyl residues as a backbone, some of which were substituted at position 2 with (1-->3)-linked beta-D-xylopyranose side chains and with beta-D-glucopyransyluronic acid at position 4 linked to terminal alpha-D-mannopyranose
