    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES;

    Abstract : Fusobacterium necrophorum is the main causative agent of Lemierre’s syndrome, where the bacteria, following a benign initial oropharyngeal infection, cause septic thrombophlebitis of the internal jugular vein with subsequent pulmonary embolisation. Despite that data are lacking to suggest so, F. READ MORE

  6. 4. The structures of three bacterial polysaccharides and model studies on oligosaccharides and polyisoprenoids using NMR and FAB-MS

    Author : Kerstin Hermansson; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES;

    Abstract : Some vicinally branched milk and blood group oligosaccharides were analyzed using nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy in order to investigate NMR chemical shift changes that originate from the branching. These 13C-NMR chemical shift changes were used to calculate NMR spectra of oligo- and polysaccharides using the computer program CASPER. READ MORE
