Properties
Description
The fucoidan-OH conjugate (alternatively known as hydroxyl-fucoidan) links a hydroxyl group to fucoidan, a sulfated seaweed polysaccharide, developing a modified compound for potential research applications.
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.
