Preparation and structural analysis of fucomannogalactan and β-1,6-glucan from Grifola frondosa mycelium

open access: yesFrontiers in Chemistry, 2023
Introduction: Polysaccharides, key components present in Grifola frondosa, can be divided into those derived from fruiting bodies, mycelium, and fermentation broth based on their source. The structure of G.

Structure-functional activity relationship of β-glucans from the perspective of immunomodulation : a mini-review [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
β-Glucans are a heterogeneous group of glucose polymers with a common structure comprising a main chain of β-(1,3) and/or β-(1,4)-glucopyranosyl units, along with side chains with various branches and lengths.

Physical Interaction of Sodium Houttuyfonate With β-1,3-Glucan Evokes Candida albicans Cell Wall Remodeling

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2019
Candida albicans is a commonly isolated opportunistic yeast and can endanger immune-compromised human health. As increasingly isolated strains present resistance to currently used antifungals, it is necessary to develop novel antimycotics.

An initial event in insect innate immune response: structural and biological studies of interactions between β-1,3-glucan and the N-terminal domain of β-1,3-glucan recognition protein [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
In response to invading microorganisms, insect β-1,3-glucan recognition protein (βGRP), a soluble receptor in the hemolymph, binds to the surfaces of bacteria and fungi and activates serine protease cascades that promote destruction of pathogens by means

Cell type-specific differences in β-glucan recognition and signalling in porcine innate immune cells [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
β-glucans exert receptor-mediated immunomodulating activities, including oxidative burst activity and cytokine secretion. The role of the β-glucan receptors dectin-1 and complement receptor 3 (CR3) in the response of immune cells towards β-glucans is ...

A glucan from active dry baker’s yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae): A chemical and enzymatic investigation of the structure [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of the Serbian Chemical Society, 2003
The structure of a polysaccharide consisting of D-glucose isolated from the cell-wall of active dry baker’s yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) was investigated by using methylation analysis, periodate oxidation, mass spectrometry, NMR spectroscopy, and ...

Cyclic β-glucans at the bacteria–host cells interphase: One sugar ring to rule them all [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Cyclic β‐1,2‐D‐glucans (CβG) are natural bionanopolymers present in the periplasmic space of many Proteobacteria. These molecules are sugar rings made of 17 to 25 D‐glucose units linked exclusively by β‐1,2‐glycosidic bonds.
