Title : Structural analysis of
the oligosaccharide-alditols released by reductive beta-elimination from oviducal mucins of Rana temporaria
Abstract :
- The carbohydrate chains of the mucins which constitute the jelly coat surrounding the eggs of Rana temporaria were released by alkaline borohydride treatment
- Neutral and acidic oligosaccharide-alditols were purified by ion-exchange chromatography and HPLC
- From the structural analysis, based upon 1H and 13C-NMR spectroscopy in combination with MALDI-TOF, the following glycan units are proposed
