Abstract
A fucoidan, a heterogeneous sulfated polysaccharide from the brown alga Fucus evanescens, was depolymerized under solvolytic conditions, and its ethanol-extracted low-molecular-weight fraction was analyzed by MALDI-TOFMS and ESIMS/MS. It was found that the mixture contained unsulfated oligosaccharides including some monosulfated components, which were shown to consist of mainly (1→3)-linked 2-O-sulfonated fucose residues (from 1 to 4). Minor components of the mixture were shown to contain 2-O- and 4-O-sulfonated xylose and galactose residues. Among them, mixed monosulfonated fucooligosaccharides were detected and characterized: Xyl-(1→4)-Fuc, Gal-(1→4)-Fuc, Gal-(1→4)-Gal-(1→4)-Fuc, Gal-(1→4)-Gal. Fucose, galactose, and xylose residues were shown to be mainly 2-O-sulfonated with traces of 4-O-sulfonation. Glucuronic acid was also found as a part of non-sulfated fucooligosaccharides: Fuc-(1→3)-GlcA, Fuc-(1→4)-Fuc-(1→3)-GlcA, Fuc-(1→3)-Fuc-(1→4)-Fuc-(1→3)-GlcA.
期刊介绍:
Carbohydrate Research publishes reports of original research in the following areas of carbohydrate science: action of enzymes, analytical chemistry, biochemistry (biosynthesis, degradation, structural and functional biochemistry, conformation, molecular recognition, enzyme mechanisms, carbohydrate-processing enzymes, including glycosidases and glycosyltransferases), chemical synthesis, isolation of natural products, physicochemical studies, reactions and their mechanisms, the study of structures and stereochemistry, and technological aspects.
Papers on polysaccharides should have a "molecular" component; that is a paper on new or modified polysaccharides should include structural information and characterization in addition to the usual studies of rheological properties and the like. A paper on a new, naturally occurring polysaccharide should include structural information, defining monosaccharide components and linkage sequence.
Papers devoted wholly or partly to X-ray crystallographic studies, or to computational aspects (molecular mechanics or molecular orbital calculations, simulations via molecular dynamics), will be considered if they meet certain criteria. For computational papers the requirements are that the methods used be specified in sufficient detail to permit replication of the results, and that the conclusions be shown to have relevance to experimental observations - the authors'' own data or data from the literature. Specific directions for the presentation of X-ray data are given below under Results and "discussion".
