Applications of Mass Spectrometry to Structural Analysis of Marine Oligosaccharides

Marine Drugs, 2014
Marine oligosaccharides have attracted increasing attention recently in developing potential drugs and biomaterials for their particular physical and chemical properties. However, the composition and sequence analysis of marine oligosaccharides are very

Algal glycans promote microbial turnover of organic matter through stabilization of subtidal permeable sandy sediments

Limnology and Oceanography, Volume 71, Issue 3, March 2026.
Abstract Permeable sands on continental shelves host microbial communities that drive organic carbon turnover, oxygen fluxes and nitrogen loss. Advective porewater flow associated with sedimentary bedforms maintains these rates and fluxes. Modeling and laboratory studies suggest that advective porewater flow is tightly coupled to bedform stability ...

Females of the sea urchin Strongylocentrotus purpuratus differ in the structures of their egg jelly sulfated fucans [PDF]

Glycobiology, 1998
The egg jelly coats of sea urchins contain sulfated fucans which bind to a sperm surface receptor glycoprotein to initiate the signal transduction events resulting in the sperm acrosome reaction. The acrosome reaction is an ion channel regulated exocytosis which is an obligatory event for sperm binding to, and fusion with, the egg. Approximately 90% of

Partial characterization and anticoagulant activity of a heterofucan from the brown seaweed Padina gymnospora

Brazilian Journal of Medical and Biological Research, 2005
The brown algae Padina gymnospora contain different fucans. Powdered algae were submitted to proteolysis with the proteolytic enzyme maxataze. The first extract of the algae was constituted of polysaccharides contaminated with lipids, phenols, etc ...

The optimization of crop response to climatic stress through modulation of plant stress response mechanisms. Opportunities for biostimulants and plant hormones to meet climate challenges.

New Phytologist, Volume 249, Issue 1, Page 130-151, January 2026.
Summary This review discusses the use of agronomic management practices to enhance crop stress resilience to climate stress through the modulation of natural plant growth regulatory pathways. The use of biostimulants or plant hormones to improve crop resilience is subject to strict regulatory oversight if changes in the regulation of plant growth are ...

Conformation And Binding Aspects Of Sulfated Carbohydrates By Liquid-State Nmr [PDF]

, 2020
Liquid-state NMR has long been an important tool for understanding the conformations and interactions of biomacromolecules. To date these conclusions have primarily been focused upon nucleotides and peptides with little information regarding the ...

Research Review on Inhibitors of Lumpy Skin Disease Virus: From Biological Characteristics, Drug Repurposing, to Computer‐Aided Drug Design

International Journal of Microbiology, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
This review summarizes the research progress on inhibitors of lumpy skin disease virus (LSDV), focusing on its biological characteristics and key proteins involved in the viral replication cycle. It compiles various inhibitors (direct‐acting poxvirus inhibitors and host‐directed poxvirus inhibitors) against poxviruses, their mechanisms of action, and ...

Structural and kinetic analyses of holothurian sulfated glycans suggest potential treatment for SARS-CoV-2 infection [PDF]

, 2021
Certain sulfated glycans, including those from marine sources, can show potential effects against SARS-CoV-2. Here, a new fucosylated chondroitin sulfate (FucCS) from the sea cucumber Pentacta pygmaea (PpFucCS) (MW ∼10.60 kDa) was isolated and ...

Evaluation of Anti-Nociceptive and Anti-Inflammatory Activities of a Heterofucan from Dictyota menstrualis

Marine Drugs, 2013
Fucan is a term that defines a family of homo- and hetero-polysaccharides containing sulfated l-fucose in its structure. In this work, a heterofucan (F2.0v) from the seaweed, Dictyota menstrualis, was evaluated as an antinociceptive and anti-inflammatory

Sulfatases: Catalytic Mechanism, Substrate Preferences, and Carbohydrate‐Based Inhibitor Design

Israel Journal of Chemistry, Volume 65, Issue 12, December 2025.
Sulfatases are a class of enzymes that can cleave sulfates from heparan sulfate and modulate many of their biological activities. In this review, following a general introduction on sulfatase, their enzymatic mechanism and substrate scope are discussed.
