Glycans have been hot topics in recent years due to their exhibition of numerous biological
activities. However, the heterogeneity of their natural source and the complexity of their …

An efficient method for the preparation of β-(1→ 3)-d-glucan laminarihexaose on ionic liquid
(IL)-support is described. A β-(1→ 3)-glucan laminarihexaose was rapidly assembled in 15 h …

A hydrophobically assisted switching phase (HASP) method is an efficient strategy for the
synthesis of carrier-loaded oligosaccharides. We improved this method by using cetyl …

Multistage organic synthesis is now a mature science and a very large number of molecules
are available from chemical synthesis (including proteins and genes!). However, this …

This chapter overviews the influence of radiation processing applied to thermoplastic starch
and some other glucans in blends prepared with various types of plasticizers and additives …

Chloroviruses are large, dsDNA-containing viruses that live in terrestrial waters. Like many
viruses, they produce N-linked glycoproteins. However, the glycan structures on chlorovirus …

A 3, 5-didocosyloxybenzyl alcohol tag that was introduced at the anomeric position of the
carbohydrate acceptor was applied in the assembly of a pentasaccharide. The intrinsic high …

A chromatographic purification free rapid oligosaccharide synthetic strategy was developed.
The intermediates were conveniently purified by a new process based on a “capture …

A new carrier containing three hydrophobic octadecyls was employed to improve the yield
and purity of the synthesized oligosaccharides, and the applicability of hydrophobic carrier …

In many fields, most notably medicine and molecular biology, the understanding of the
structure and function of carbohydrates and glycoconjugates remains vital. This new volume …
