Structure and anticoagulant activity of sulfated galactans. Isolation of a unique sulfated galactan from the red algae Botryocladia occidentalis and comparison of its anticoagulant action with that of sulfated galactans from invertebrates.

open access: yesThe Journal of biological chemistry, 2000
We have characterized the structure of a sulfated d-galactan from the red algae Botryocladia occidentalis. The following repeating structure (-4-alpha-d-Galp-1-->3-beta-d-Galp-1-->) was found for this polysaccharide, but with a variable sulfation pattern.

Crystal structure of endo‐β‐1,6‐galactanase from Streptomyces avermitilis

open access: yesActa Crystallographica Section D, Volume 82, Issue 8, Page 962-971, August 2026.
The crystal structure of S. avermitilis endo‐β‐1,6‐galactanase belonging to GH30 subfamily 5 reveals the first structural framework for endo‐β‐1,6‐galactanase. The β‐1,6‐galactobiose‐bound complex identifies the catalytic subsites and a distal secondary sugar‐binding site, providing insight into β‐1,6‐galactan recognition.Endo‐β‐1,6‐galactanases ...

Specific sulfation and glycosylation - a structural combination for the anticoagulation of marine carbohydrates

open access: yesFrontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2014
Based on considered achievements of the last 25 years, specific combinations of sulfation patterns and glycosylation types have been proved to be key structural players for the anticoagulant activity of certain marine glycans.

Glyco‐Nanogels for Modulating Pseudomonas aeruginosa Biofilm

open access: yesMacromolecular Rapid Communications, Volume 47, Issue 14, 20 July 2026.
Nanogels presenting α‐galactose and β‐fucose can significantly alter Pseudomonas aeruginosa biofilm dynamics through their interaction with lectins. Application timing is crucial: pre‐treatment reduces biofilm, while treatment after biofilm initiation increases biomass.

Dual Effects of Sulfated D-galactans from the Red Algae Botryocladia occidentalis Preventing Thrombosis and Inducing Platelet Aggregation

open access: yes, 2001
SummarySulfated D-galactans occur on the red algae Botryocladia occidentalis as three fractions that differ in their sulfate content. Fractions F2 and F3 are potent anticoagulants.

Advancements in Mass Spectrometry‐Based Glycomics in Food and Nutritional Science

open access: yesMass Spectrometry Reviews, Volume 45, Issue 4, Page 829-850, July/August 2026.
ABSTRACT This review highlights advancements in mass spectrometry (MS)‐based glycomics in food and nutritional science. Carbohydrates, which are vital for human health, exhibit complex structures, making their analysis challenging. MS has become an indispensable tool for elucidating the structures of carbohydrates, including glycans, through soft ...

Biochemical and structural characterization of a tail‐spike protein with depolymerase activity identified in a marine podovirus

open access: yesActa Crystallographica Section D, Volume 82, Issue 7, Page 785-799, July 2026.
The marine tail‐spike protein Dpo31 degrades the exopolysaccharide of its host and has structural features similar to those of other members of this protein class, despite similarity not being detected at the sequence level.Marine phages are, through the infection of their bacterial hosts, key regulators of microbiome and carbon fluxes in the ocean ...
