The structure of the capsular polysaccharide from Streptococcus pneumoniae serotype 47A was elucidated by NMR spectroscopy. The structure shown above of the repeating heptasaccharide was deduced. The capsular polysaccharide 47A is one out of a total number of 91 structurally and serologically distin...
