| Abstract |
A change from a globular to a filamentous hyphal form is an important feature in the pathogenicity of yeasts. Such a dimorphism while infecting a host organism is thought to be also accompanied in the case of Candida albicans spp. by a structural rearrangement of surface mannan antigen. The presented work brings new insights into the molecular structural changes of mannan C. albicans serotype B based on NMR experimental data. 1H and 13C signal identification of the anomeric region and the assignment of their linkage type is presented here. 2D deconvolution of the HSQC spectra facilitated accurate integration of all anomeric cross-peaks. Analysis of the differences in the integrals led to the proposal that C. albicans serotype B hyphal mannan side chains have the shortened structural moieties: Manα1-2Manα1- and Manα1-3 [Manα1-6] Manα1-2Manα1-. These represent the dominant structures important for construction of a saccharide-based prospective anti-candida vaccine. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 15 April 2018.
All research outputs
#20,481,952
of 23,043,346 outputs
Outputs from European Biophysics Journal
#418
of 491 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#289,255
of 327,997 outputs
Outputs of similar age from European Biophysics Journal
#7
of 8 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 23,043,346 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 491 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 3.0. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 327,997 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 8 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one.
