Synthesis and conformational analysis of phosphorylated β-(1→2) linked mannosides

- The cell wall of Candida albicans contains β-(1→2)-linked mannosides.
- β-(1→2)-Linked mannosides are known possess immunostimulating properties.
- Phosphate-terminated β-(1→2) mannotriose and mannotetraose have been synthesized.
- The three-dimensional structures of the synthesized molecules in water solution have been determined.
