DoLPHiN: A structural and functional database of natural polysaccharides with health benefits

Title Value
Polysaccharide Fucoidans
Source Name Saccharina japonica
Weight
Main Glycosidic Bond(s)
Main Chain highly branched partially acetylated sulfated galactofucan、 built up of (1→3)-α-L-fucose residues
Side Chain Fucoidan Sj-F2 from S. japonica is partially acetylated and sulfated galactofucans with its main chain consisting of (1→3)-α-L-fucose residues,the sulfate groups occupy primarily C4 positions and to a lesser extent the C2 positions of fucopyranose residues. Fucoidan Sj-F2 contained numerous branches in the form of α-L-fucose and β-D-galactose residues.
