Properties
Description
The fucoidan-lectin conjugate (or lectin-fucoidan, as it is interchangeably known) merges the lectin moiety with fucoidan, a sulfated polysaccharide obtained from brown seaweed, developing a compound with combined properties for diverse 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.
