beta-D-Araf-(1->2)-alpha-D-Araf-(1->5)-alpha-D-Araf-(1->5)-alpha-D-Araf-yl group
beta-d-araf-(1->2)-alpha-d-araf-(1->5)-alpha-d-araf-(1->5)-alpha-d-araf-yl group
A tetraarabinofuranosyl group consisting of four <small>D</small>-arabinofuranosyl residues linked sequentially β(1→2), α(1→5), α(1→5) with the anomeric centre of the residue at the reducing end also having α stereochemistry; corresponds to part of the lipoarabinomannan from <em>Mycobacterium tuberculosis</em>.
