Pseudaminic Acid

Pseudaminic acid (Pse) is a nonulosonic acid monosaccharide that shares structural similarities with sialic acid, Neu5Ac and a component of prokaryotic cell-surface-associated glycoconjugates found in the flagellar protein flagellin, in lipopolysaccharides and/or in capsules of Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Vibrio vulnificus, Plesiomonas shigelloides, Bacillus thuringiensis and Campylobacter jejuni.

Other Names: Pse; Pse5Ac7Ac; Pse5,7Ac; 5,7-bis(acetylamino)- 3,5,7,9-tetradeoxy-L-glycero-α-L-manno-2-nonulopyranosonic acid; 5,7-diacetamido- 3,5,7,9-tetradeoxy- L-glycero- α- L-manno- non- 2-ulopyranosonic acid
