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.

eFood, Volume 6, Issue 4, August 2025.(1) The main chain structure of Holothuria leucospilota polysaccharides (HLP‐Ⅰ) was presumed to be roughly as →3)‐β‐d‐GalpNAc‐(1→4)‐β‐d‐GlcpA‐(1→. (2) with T‐Fucp on the branched chain or a rockulose chain consisting of →3,4)‐α‐l‐Fucp‐(1→. (3) HLP‐Ⅰ showed high amorphous platelet content and disordered arrangement, while the molecule adapted a sphere ...

Fucoidan From Brown Algae as a Functional Food Ingredient: A Promising Anticancer Agent
eFood, Volume 6, Issue 4, August 2025.Fucoidan, a bioactive polysaccharide from brown algae, inhibits receptor tyrosine kinase (RTK) activation and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) signaling, suppressing the phosphoinositide 3‐kinase/protein kinase B/mammalian target of rapamycin (PI3K/Akt/mTOR) and RAS/RAF/mitogen‐activated protein kinase/extracellular signal‐regulated kinase ...

The specificity of interactions between proteins and sulfated polysaccharides
Anais da Academia Brasileira de Ciências, 2005 Sulfated polysaccharides are capable of binding with proteins at several levels of specificity. As highly acidic macromolecules, they can bind non-specifically to any basic patch on a protein surface at low ionic strength, and such interactions are not ...
