Framework-mediated binding of foreign and self-glycans by IGHV4–34 antibodies [PDF]
Frontiers in ImmunologyCold agglutinin disease is an autoimmune condition characterised by expression of self-reactive antibodies to I/i carbohydrate blood group antigens (polymers of N-acetyllactosamine or ‘LacNAc’ units) resulting in anaemia through the agglutination and ...

The Role of Carbohydrate in Maintaining Extensin in an Extended Conformation [PDF]
Plant Physiology, 1986 Monomers of the plant cell wall glycoprotein extensin are secreted into the wall where they become cross-linked to each other to form a rigid matrix. Expression of the extensin matrix is correlated with the inhibition of further cell elongation during ...

Solvent interactions determine carbohydrate conformation [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2001 The relationship between the three-dimensional structures of oligosaccharides and polysaccharides and their biological properties has been the focus of many recent studies. The overall conformation of an oligosaccharide depends primarily on the orientation of the torsion angles (φ, ψ, and ω) between glycosyl residues. Numerous experimental

Carbohydrate Structure Database oligosaccharide conformation tool
Glycobiology, 2022 Abstract Population analysis in terms of glycosidic torsion angles is frequently used to reveal preferred conformers of glycans. However, due to high structural diversity and flexibility of carbohydrates, conformational characterization of complex glycans can be a challenging task.

The effect of neutral sugar distribution on the dilute solution conformation of sugar beet pectin [PDF]
, 2012 A partially degraded sugar beet pectin (C) was found to be heterogeneous in composition with neutral sugar-rich fractions of both high and low hydrodynamic radii. A neutral sugar-poor fraction was found at intermediate hydrodynamic radii.

Macromolecular conformation of chitosan in dilute solution: A new global hydrodynamic approach [PDF]
, 2009 Chitosans of different molar masses were prepared by storing freshly prepared samples for up to 6 months at either 4, 25 or 40 °C. The weight-average molar masses, Mw and intrinsic viscosities, [η] were then measured using size exclusion chromatography
