Glycolipids and Gangliosides

Glycolipids and Gangliosides.—Approaches to the synthesis of D-galactosyl-glycerol, D-galactosyldiglycerides, and plant galactolipids have been reviewed. A new approach to the synthesis of cord factor (the toxic glycolipid of Mycobacterium tuberculosis) is based on the use of ester derivatives of aa-trehalose

Specific detection reagents are used for the preliminary identification of glycolipids.The most useful reagents are the resorcinol-HCI spray for gangliosides and the orcinol-sulfuric acid spray for neutral glycolipids and gangliosides. 

The genetics and biochemistry of some human blood-groups have been comprehensively reviewed. The structures of several neutral glycolipids and gangliosides in bovine erythrocyte membranes have been established by the results of acid hydrolysis, methylation, periodate and chromium(vi) oxide...
