Synthesis of D-alanylated wall teichoic acids from staphylococcus aureus

Abstract

This Thesis describes the synthesis of D-alanylated ribitol-based wall teichoic acids from S. aureus to probe their interaction with immune-binding partners. To this end, well-defined RboP are synthesised using new and established organic methodologies.
