Abstract:
Three glycoconjugates, LbGp3, LbGp4 and LbGp5, were isolated from the fruit of
Lycium barbarum L. Molecular weights of LbGp3, LbGp4 and LbGp5 were 9.25×10
4, 21.48×10
4 and 2.37×10
4, respectively. Carbohydrate contents of LbGp3, LbGP4 and LbGp5 were 93.6%, 85.6%, 8.6%, respectivly. LbGp3 was composed of Ara and Gal in a molar ratio of 1∶1. LbGp4 was composed of Ara, Gal, Rha and Glc in a molar ratio of 1.5∶2.5∶0.43∶0.23. LbGp5 was composed of Rha, Ara, Xyl, Gal, Man and Glc in a molar ratio of 0.33∶0.52∶0.42∶0.94∶0.85∶1. Elemental analysis of N contents: LbGp3 0.83%, LbGp4 1.72%, LbGp5 9.58%. The linkage between the glycan and protein may be of O-linkage in LbGp4.
