  • Title: Structural characterization of a water-soluble beta-D-glucan from fruiting bodies of Agaricus blazei Murr.
    Author: Dong Q, Yao J, Yang XT, Fang JN.
    Journal: Carbohydr Res; 2002 Sep 03; 337(15):1417-21. PubMed ID: 12204626.
    Abstract:
    A beta-D-glucan, Ab2-2N, was isolated from the hot-water extract of fruiting bodies of Agaricus blazei Murr by ethanol precipitation, anion-exchange and gel-permeation chromatography. Its structure was investigated by composition analysis, methylation analysis, Smith degradation, mild hydrolysis, and NMR spectroscopy. It contains a (1-->6)-linked beta-D-glucopyranosyl backbone, with one side chain consisting of terminal and 3-substituted beta-D-glucopyranosyl residues attached at O-3 for every three backbone residues.
