BACKGROUND: With the recent advent of glycomics, many medically relevant glycans have
been discovered. Sulfated fucans (SFs) and sulfated galactans (SGs) are one of these …

Sulfated fucans (SFs) and sulfated galactans (SGs) are currently the marine non-
glycosaminoglycan (GAG) sulfated glycans most studied in glycomics. These compounds …

Glycomics turned out to be a very extensive project where its subdivision is consequently
emerging. This is seen by the growing number of terminologies used to define subprojects …

Glycomics is an international initiative aimed to understand the structure and function of the
glycans from a given type of cell, tissue, organism, kingdom or even environment, as found …

Fucoidan is a complex polysaccharide (molecular weight 10,000–100,000 Da) derived from
brown algae which comprises of L-fucose and sulfate groups have potential as therapeutic …

Sulfated galactans (SGs) are highly anionic marine galactose-composed
homopolysaccharides. Although their structures vary among species, their main features are …

Fucoidans encompass versatile and heterogeneous sulfated biopolysaccharides of marine
origin, specifically brown algae and marine invertebrates. Their chemistry and bioactivities …

Sulfated fucans, frequently referred to simply as fucans, constitute a class of polysaccharides
first isolated in 1913. For many years fucans were regarded only as a potential source of l …

Sulfated fucans and galactans are strongly anionic polysaccharides found in marine
organisms. Their structures vary among species, but their major features are conserved …

Sulfated α-L-fucans from brown algae (also known as fucoidan) have complex and
heterogeneous structures but recent studies revealed the occurrence of ordered repeat units …
