Current Issues in Molecular BiologyDermatan sulfate and chondroitin sulfate are dietary supplements that can be utilized as prophylactics against thrombus formation. Low-molecular-weight dermatan sulfate (LMWDS) is particularly advantageous due to its high absorbability.

Structure of glassy lithium sulfate films sputtered in nitrogen (LISON): Insight from Raman spectroscopy and ab initio calculations [PDF]
, 2007 Raman spectra of thin solid electrolyte films obtained by sputtering a lithium sulfate target in nitrogen plasma are measured and compared to ab initio electronic structure calculations for clusters composed of 28 atoms. Agreement between measured and calculated spectra is obtained when oxygen atoms are replaced by nitrogen atoms and when the nitrogen ...

Macromolecular Bioscience, Volume 25, Issue 4, April 2025.Interactions between sulfated glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) and the adhesin OmcB of Chlamydia species are explored using a surface‐based binding assay and cell assays. Increased sulfation and molecular weight enhance GAG binding and reduce bacterial attachment, with heparin exhibiting superior inhibitory effects.

Selectivity in glycosaminoglycan binding dictates the distribution and diffusion of fibroblast growth factors in the pericellular matrix [PDF]
, 2016 The range of biological outcomes generated by many signalling proteins in development and homeostasis is increased by their interactions with glycosaminoglycans, particularly heparan sulfate (HS).

Exploring PtSO$_4$ and PdSO$_4$ phases: an evolutionary algorithm based investigation [PDF]
Phys. Chem. Chem. Phys. 17, 18146 (2015), 2015 Metal sulfate formation is one of the major challenges to the emissions aftertreatment catalysts. Unlike the incredibly sulfation prone nature of Pd to form PdSO$_4$, no experimental evidence exits for the PtSO$_4$ formation. Given the mystery of nonexistence of the PtSO$_4$, we explore the PtSO$_4$ using a combined approach of evolutionary algorithm ...

Proteoglycans and Hyaluronan in Normal and Aberrant Lung Development
Proteoglycan Research, Volume 3, Issue 2, April 2025.ABSTRACT Lung development is a tightly regulated process that progresses through five distinct stages: embryonic, pseudoglandular, canalicular, saccular, and alveolar. Each stage is characterized by coordinated cellular interactions and structural changes driven by signals from epithelial, endothelial, and mesenchymal cells.

Quantification of sulfated polysaccharides in urine by the Heparin Red mix-and-read fluorescence assay [PDF]
arXiv, 2018 Quantification of sulfated polysaccharides in urine samples is relevant to pharmacokinetic studies in drug development projects and to the non-invasive diagnosis and therapy monitoring of mucopolysaccharidoses. The Heparin Red Kit is a particularly simple and user friendly fluorescence assay for the quantification of sulfated polysaccharides and has ...
