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

Title Value
Polysaccharide Fucoidans
Source Name Undaria pinnatifida
Weight
Main Glycosidic Bond(s)
α-Fucp-(1→3)
Main Chain partially acetylated highly sulfated galactofucan consisting of (1→3)- or (1→3);(1→4)-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-F3 contained numerous branches in the form of α-L-fucose and β-D-galactose residues.
