Abstract
The conformational and dynamic behavior of the O‐antigen of the lipopolysaccharide of Sinorhizobium fredii SMH12, a wide‐range host bacterium isolated from nodulated soybean plants growing in Vietnam, was studied. The O‐antigenhas a repeating unit consisting of the trisaccharide →4)‐α‐D‐Gal__p__A‐(1→3)‐2‐O‐Ac‐α‐L‐Rha__p__‐(1→3)‐2‐O‐Ac‐α‐D‐Man__p__‐(1→, where the O‐6 position of the mannose residue in the repeating unit is unsubstituted, acetylated, or methylated in an approximate ratio 1:1:2. For the analysis of the conformational and dynamic behavior, the deacetylated polysaccharide was employed. A combination of NMR spectroscopic methods assisted by molecular mechanics and dynamic simulations was employed to deduce its major conformational and dynamic features. (© Wiley‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.
