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

Alveolar Glycocalyces During Health and Critical Illness
Proteoglycan Research, Volume 3, Issue 1, January-March 2025.ABSTRACT The alveolus, the functional unit of the lung, is comprised of closely approximated alveolar epithelial and endothelial cells, across which gas exchange occurs. This alveolar septum also includes two substantial, intraluminal extracellular matrices: the alveolar epithelial and endothelial glycocalyces.

Disaccharide Analysis of Glycosaminoglycans From Twenty‐Four Organs of Young and Aged Mice
Proteoglycan Research, Volume 3, Issue 1, January-March 2025.ABSTRACT Glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) are abundant negatively charged polysaccharides ubiquitously expressed in mammalian organs, having essential biological functions in development and homeostasis. It has been scarcely reported that GAG structures are changed in aged and diseased human organs; however, an overall landscape of GAGs in individual organs ...

Nanoparticles and Glycosaminoglycans: Progress and Applications for Cancer Therapy
Proteoglycan Research, Volume 3, Issue 1, January-March 2025.ABSTRACT Glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) play essential roles in biological processes such as cell signaling and extracellular matrix assembly. Alterations in the structure of GAGs have been implicated in cancer pathogenesis, demonstrating their potential as biomarkers for cancer diagnosis and progression, as well as targets for pharmacological interventions.

Extraction and structural study of hemicellulose B from tall fescue (Festuca arundinacea) : a thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Chemistry at Massey University [PDF]
, 1971 1.1 Hemicellulose The structural carbohydrates are mixtures of polysaccharides which together with lignin, constitute the cell wall. Usually they are divided into three fractions: pectic substances, hemicellulose and cellulose.1 Pectins, widely ...

Environmental Microbiology, Volume 27, Issue 1, January 2025.We have characterised several novel genera of Bifidobacteriaceae that colonise the cytoplasm of cellulolytic flagellates. Horizontal gene transfer played an important role in their adaptation to the intracellular environment. However, progressive genome erosion led to the loss of biosynthetic capacities that formed the basis of an originally ...
