Abstract
This work describes the first crystal structure ever reported of a histo-blood group carbohydrate antigen: Lex. This study provides a detailed description of the conformation of two crystallographic independent molecules in a highly hydrated environment along with their hydrogen bonding properties and packing features. Some interactions observed between adjacent trisaccharides can provide the basis for involvement of Lex-Lex interactions in cellcell adhesion.
