Helferich glycosylation of the cyanoethylidene L-rhamnose derivative 3 with the galactosyluronic bromide 2 gave the disaccharide 4 as a key intermediate in the synthesis of the monomer 13 for trityl-cyanoethylidene condensation (TCC). The following formation of the monomer 13,...

The molecular motions of D-alpha-galacturonic acid monohydrate (GA) and its derivative methyl-alpha-D-galacturonic acid methyl ester monohydrate (MGAM) in the solid state have been studied using 1H NMR. Both protonated and deuterium exchanged samples have been used. Spin-lattice relaxation times...

The effects of alginate composition on cell growth as well as the metabolic and secretory profile of transformed beta-cells entrapped in alginate/poly-L-lysine/alginate (APA) solid beads were investigated following entrapment of beta TC3 mouse insulinoma cells in alginate composed of...

The X-ray structure of Aspergillus aculeatus polygalacturonase and a modeled structure of the polygalacturonase-octagalacturonate complex.

J Mol Biol. 2001 Aug 24;311(4):863-78. doi: 10.1006/jmbi.2001.4919.

Polygalacturonases hydrolyze the alpha-(1-4) glycosidic bonds of de-esterified pectate in the smooth region of the plant cell wall. Crystal structures of polygalacturonase from Aspergillus aculeatus were determined at pH 4.5 and 8.5 both to 2.0 A resolution. A. aculeatus...

Phase separation in calcium alginate gels.

Straatmann A, Borchard W.
PMID: 12692695
Eur Biophys J. 2003 Aug;32(5):412-7. doi: 10.1007/s00249-003-0298-7. Epub 2003 Apr 12.

Alginates are polysaccharides consisting of beta-D-mannuronate and alpha-L-guluronate units. In the presence of bivalent cations like calcium the guluronate blocks form physically cross-linked gels. The gelation properties of alginates play an important role in the stability of extracellular polymer...

Mode of action of recombinant Azotobacter vinelandii mannuronan C-5 epimerases AlgE2 and AlgE4.

Biopolymers

Hartmann M, Holm OB, Johansen GA, Skjåk-Braek G, Stokke BT.
PMID: 11786996
Biopolymers. 2002 Feb;63(2):77-88. doi: 10.1002/bip.10017.

The enzymes mannuronan C-5 epimerases catalyze conversion of beta-D-mannuronic acid to alpha-L-guluronic acid in alginates at the polymer level and thereby introduce sequences that have functional properties relevant to gelation. The enzymatic conversion by recombinant mannuronan C-5 epimerases AlgE4...

Gelatin blends with alginate: gels for lipase immobilization and purification.

While searching for oligosaccharides containing rhamnose residues in the endopolygalacturonase (EPG) digest of saponified citrus pectin, we found several oligomers containing, in addition to galacturonic acid, a sugar previously unreported in pectin. The 1- and 2-D 1H NMR spectra...
