Properties
Description
The fucoidan-COOH conjugate (also called carboxylic acid-fucoidan) merges a carboxylic acid group with fucoidan, a sulfated seaweed polysaccharide, forming a modified structure for potential scientific use.
Glycan Structure
The glycan structure of fucoidan primarily consists of α-(1→3)- or α-(1→4)-linked L-fucose residues with sulfate groups at C-2/C-4 positions, often interspersed with branching points and occasional substitutions by other monosaccharides like galactose or xylose.
