The Effect of Intravenous Papain on Cartilage Glycosaminoglycans

, 1971
A time course effect of intravenous papain on the chondromucoprotein complex of rabbit ear cartilage was followed chemically. There was a decrease of chondroitin sulfate A and non-sulfated glycosaminoglycans (GAH) up to the moment of maximal collapse of ...

Cereal Arabinoxylans—Their Enzymatic Degradation and Relevance for Breadmaking and Human Health

Comprehensive Reviews in Food Science and Food Safety, Volume 25, Issue 1, January 2026.
ABSTRACT As the most abundant nonstarch polysaccharides in cereals, arabinoxylans (AXs) contribute significantly to the global intake of dietary fiber. They play a crucial role in the breadmaking process with respect to dough rheology and texture, bread volume, and nutritional quality, especially when starting from wheat or rye flour.

Matrix: a complex amalgam of structures and functions in tumor microenvironment

FEBS Open Bio, Volume 15, Issue 10, Page 1552-1569, October 2025.
The matrix is a dynamic, intricate three‐dimensional mesh of biomolecules with both structural and functional properties. This review deals with the complexity of this ‘molecular amalgam’ in the tumor microenvironment and highlights its importance in the maintenance and evolution of tumors by describing certain matrix biomolecules, such as ...

Molecular Evolution and Gene Diversity of Dermatan Sulfate Sulfotransferases in Ascidians

Proteoglycan Research, Volume 3, Issue 4, October 2025.
ABSTRACT Ascidians (Chordata, Tunicata) are model organisms for studying molecules, particularly sulfated glycosaminoglycans (GAGs), due to their phylogenetic proximity to vertebrates and unique GAG variants. Over‐sulfated dermatan sulfate (DS) contributes to proteoglycan diversity and cellular processes in metazoans.

The Pathophysiological Functions of Heparanases: From Evolution, Structural and Tissue‐Specific Perspectives

The FASEB Journal, Volume 39, Issue 17, 15 September 2025.
Heparanase 1 (HPSE1) and Heparanase 2 (HPSE2) exhibit opposing expression patterns and functions in pathological contexts, such as cancer. Here, we describe their specific expression in immune cells and their implications in skin diseases. Although they are structurally similar and considered to be ‘cousins’, we found no common ancestor and that HPSE2 ...

Data_Sheet_3_N-Glycosylation Is Important for Halobacterium salinarum Archaellin Expression, Archaellum Assembly and Cell Motility.xlsx

, 2019
Halobacterium salinarum are halophilic archaea that display directional swimming in response to various environmental signals, including light, chemicals and oxygen. In Hbt. salinarum, the building blocks (archaellins) of the archaeal swimming apparatus (

Determination of hexuronic acids in glycosaminoglycans by automated ion-exchange chromatography

Analytical Biochemistry, 1976
Abstract This report describes a procedure for analyzing glucuronic and iduronic acids using the Technicon automated sugar chromatography system. Glueronic and iduronic acids of standard samples of glycosaminoglycans have been analyzed after hydrolysis by formic acid.

The carboxylate “gripper” of the substrate is critical for C‐4 stereo‐inversion by UDP‐glucuronic acid 4‐epimerase

FEBS Letters, Volume 599, Issue 15, Page 2190-2200, August 2025.
UDP‐glucuronic acid 4‐epimerase (UGAepi) catalyzes NAD+‐dependent interconversion of UDP‐glucuronic acid (UDP‐GlcA) and UDP‐galacturonic acid (UDP‐GalA) via C4‐oxidation, 4‐keto‐intermediate rotation, and C4‐reduction. Here, Borg et al. examined the role of the substrate's carboxylate group in the enzymic mechanism by analyzing NADH‐dependent reduction

Conversion of hexuronic acid to hexaric acid

, 2011
The present invention relates to a method and microbial host strain for converting a hexuronic acid to a hexaric acid. In particular, the invention relates to the con-version of D-galacturonic acid to meso-galactaric acid (mucic acid). The invention also
