Chemical structure

For the benefit of future editors, here is a copy of talk page conversations concerning this article:

I didnt find a picture of the structure on the www. Do you know a site or can u even draw the structure? Thx & cheers, 84.75.158.212 (talk) 00:47, 10 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Fv, Someone asked on my talk page if I could add the chemical structure to fusafungine. I have been unable to find the structure because Chemical Abstracts refers to it as having "unspecified" structure and it is not present in other public databases I've looked at such as PubChem. In one journal article I found, it is referred to as a mixture of cyclic peptides, but you added a specific molecular formula and molecular weight to the article in May of last year. So I'm wondering if you may know where to find the structure(s) or at least more information about it. Thanks, -- Ed (Edgar181) 13:11, 10 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry Ed, but I had no luck either. The molecular formula is from MeSH; I couldn't find it anywhere else. The closest I could get: [1] and [2]. Best, Fvasconcellos (t·c) 13:42, 10 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I have been unable figure this one out. Chemical Abstracts refers to it as having "unspecified" structure, and several journal articles describe it as a mixture, but none that I can find give exact structures of its components. As Fvasconcellos notes, the molecular formula and molecular weight are reported, but it's not clear to me exactly what this data refers to. I've added a bit of structural explanation to the text, and that will probably have to do for now. -- Ed (Edgar181) 14:10, 10 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
