Abstract
A major component of the cell wall of mycobacteria is the mycolyl-arabinogalactan (mAG) complex. The arabinose and galactose residues in mAG are found solely in the furanose form, and it has been suggested that the flexibility of these five-membered rings allows for the tight packing of mycolic acids. In order to probe the "flexible scaffold hypothesis", we designed and synthesized glycolipids 3-6 and 8-11 as simple models of the terminal portion of mAG. A set of donors and acceptors were explored for preparing the key beta-(1-->2) linkage in 2-6, and the best selectivity and yield can be obtained by using the electron-rich thioglycoside donor 14 and the O-5 p-methoxybenzyl-protected acceptor 17. Both alpha-linkages in the trisaccharides 7-11 were formed in a one-pot reaction. The conformations of compounds 2-11 were studied using solution-state NMR spectroscopy, but little change was observed in the coupling constants for the ring protons between 2 and 3-6 or between 7 and 8-11. However, the rotamer populations about the C-4-C-5 bond for the beta-linked ring in disaccharide 2 did change upon acylation at O-5.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
