A polysaccharide of unknown structure was isolated, subjected to exhaustive methylation, and hydrolyzed. Analysis of the products revealed three methylated sugars: 2,3,4-tri-O-methyl-D-glucose, 2,4-di-O-methyl-Dglucose, and 2,3,4,6-tetra-O-methyl-D-glucose, in the ratio 20:1:1. What is the structure of the polysaccharide?

Saccharide Y is a tetrasaccharide. To determine its linkages, glycopeptide X was exhaustively methylated, effectively methylating saccharide Y. Cleavage gave a polypeptide and the following products: 2,3,4-tri-O-methyl-a-D-glucopyranoside acid, 2,3- di-O-methyl-ß-D-glucopyranoside, 1,3,4-tri-O-methyl-ß-D-glucuronic acid and 1,4,6-tri-O- methyl-ß-D-N-acetylgalactosamine. Further treatments to the isolated tetrasaccharide gave the following results: A. Treatment of saccharide Y with an a-1,4 glycosidase gave a trisaccharide and glucopyranose B. Treatment of saccharide Y with a 2,6-glycosidase also gave a trisaccharide and glucuronic acid. Draw the structure of the saccharide.
