Publisher Summary This chapter analyzes the importance of thioclycosides as the glycosyl
donors in oligosaccharide synthesis. The presence and biological importance of …

Plant cell walls are composed of an intricate network of polysaccharides and proteins that
varies during the developmental stages of the cell. This makes it very challenging to address …

Glycoconjugatcs arc the moht t 'unctionally and structurally diverse molecules in nature and
it is now well established that protein-and lipid-bound saccharides play essential roles in …

The sequence, length and substitution of a polysaccharide influence its physical and
biological properties. Thus, sequence controlled polysaccharides are important targets to …

Glycoconjugates are the most functionally and structurally diverse molecules in nature and it
is now well established that protein-and lipid-bound saccharides play essential roles in …

Small reducing and linear oligo-β-(1, 3)-glucans, which are able to act as phytoallexin
elicitors or as immunostimulating agents in anticancer therapy, were synthesized according …

A key intermediate 15 was prepared via successive glycosidations of 1, 6-anhydro maltose
derivative 8 with glycosyl donors 6 and then with 11, cyclized under a diluted condition, and …

Laminarin-CRM197 glycoconjugates were previously demonstrated to be immunogenic and
confer protection against Candida albicans in mice. Laminarin consists of β-(1, 3) glucan …

In this report, we describe the synthesis and biological evaluation of β (1, 3)
oligosaccharides that contain an aminoalkyl group and their biological evaluation. A 2, 3 diol …

Aminopropyl glycosides of a series of linear β-(1→ 3)-linked d-glucooligosaccharides
containing from 3 to 13 monosaccharide units were efficiently prepared. The synthetic …
