A Highly Convergent Chemical Synthesis of Conformational Epitopes of Rhamnogalacturonan II

摘要

Recent estimates indicate that more than 2000 genes encode proteins involved in the biosynthesis and remodeling of the polysaccharide-rich primary cell wall of plants.The functions of only a handful of these gene products are known.Furthermore,there is data to support the hypothesis that carbohydrate epitopes change during plant development;however,detailed knowledge about these processes is lacking.
