Sequencing complex polysaccharides
Glycosaminoglycans are complex polysaccharides that exist at the cell/extracellular matrix interface. As such, these information-dense molecules are key regulators of extracellular signals. However, to date, there has been a lack of effective biochemical and analytical tools for the analysis of …

Nonstarch polysaccharides in sweet potato
The composition of the non-starch polysaccharides in sweet potato was determined and their flatulence-inducing potential evaluated. A preparative adaptation of the AOAC enzymatic method was used to isolate the insoluble and soluble non-starch polysaccharides. The insoluble non-starch fraction was …

Some South African red seaweed polysaccharides
… and the Cyanophyceae or blue-green algae. The polysaccharides which are extracted from marine algae may be differentiated into reserve polysaccharides, analogous to starch in land plants, and into structural polyrsaccharides, analogous to cellulose in land plants. Laminarin from brown seaweeds …

Characterising the Macromolecular Interactions between Proteins and Polysaccharides
The major focus of this thesis is to investigate the macromolecular interactions between model protein βLgA and model polysaccharide pectin when they were oppositely charged and the microstructures of the complexes formed between the two biopolymers. Firstly, interactions between βLgA and pectins …

Towards designing de novo (1--->4)-linked polysaccharides
Carbohydrates are invaluable in a variety of industrial applications ranging from biodegradable materials to pharmaceutical drug carriers. Small functional groups, such as hydroxyl, amine, N-acetylamide and methoxy are commonly employed for creating de novo saccharides with enhanced functionality. …

Bioprospecting for novel marine polysaccharides for the life sciences
… 14/4/2025 due to commercial agreements]<br/>Polysaccharides have a staggering diversity of structural and chemical properties that affect the biological activity, with some used for cryopreservation and others to degrade oil as a carbon source. In some cases, polysaccharides display …

Synthesis and characterization of thermosensitive hydrogels derived from polysaccharides
… of the components. Biopolymers (here: the polysaccharides hyaluronic acid, chondroitin sulphate, or pectin, as well as the protein gelatin) were employed as additional macromolecular crosslinker to simultaneously incorporate an enzyme responsiveness into the systems. In order to have strong …

Polysaccharides in Amyloid Aggregation and Hydrogel Mechanics: Insights from Molecular Modeling
Polysaccharides are linear polymeric carbohydrates with wide-ranging functions in biological contexts and constantly emerging applications at the intersection of biomedical and materials sciences. They often participate in soft matter systems—multi-component systems with a propensity for …

Studies in molecular structure of plant polysaccharides : exudates from Encephalartos species
… in which the molecular structure of plant polysaccharides, particularly those that occur as gummy exudates from trees, are studied. Variations in the molecular structure of the polysaccharides are linked with the taxonomy of the plant concerned; this link with taxonomy is of particular …
