Abstract excerpt
The plant sulfolipid sulfoquinovosyldiacylglycerol was discovered by A.A. Benson in the late 1950s. The increasing availability of radioisotope-containing biological substrates such as (35)S-sulfate provided the means to discover novel biological compounds and to sketch out their biosynthetic pathways. During this time the structure of sulfolipid with its 6-deoxy-6-sulfo-alpha-D: -glucose (sulfoquinovose)...
