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

Title Value
Polysaccharide HFS-3
Source Name Sargassum fusiforme
Weight
Main Glycosidic Bond(s)
Main Chain Containing 3-linked fucan sulfated at C-2, 6-linked galactan sulfated at C-2 and branched at C-4 by 2-sulfated fucose, and galactofucan with a backbone of alternating galactose and fucose sulfated at C-2 or alternating (galactose)ₙ and (fucose)ₙ sulfated at C-2. It also contains fucose-glucuronic acid-mannoglycan and xylan.
Side Chain In the structure of fucoidan, sulfation occurs at C-2, and there is a 2-sulfated fucose branch; the backbone of galactan is 6-linked β-D-galactose residues, branched at C-4 and contains sulfated fucose residues; it also contains fucose glucuronic acid mannan and xylan.
