Structural characterization and conformational properties of a polysaccharide isolated from Dendrobium nobile Lindl.

A water-soluble polysaccharide (JCP-40) from Dendrobium nobile Lindl. was extracted and purified. It was demonstrated as a single symmetrical peak based on HPSEC analysis and had an average molecular weight of 67.5 kDa. Combined with monosaccharide composition analysis, methylation analysis, 1D/2D NMR spectroscopy, the structural features of JCP-40 was proposed as follows: the major sugar residues of JCP-40 consisted of →4)-β-ᴅ-Manp-(1→ and...
