Structural differences and conformational characterization of five bioactive polysaccharides from Lentinus edodes

Physicochemical characterization of the polysaccharide from Bletilla striata : Effect of drying method

“…It was applied to observing the originated conformation of individual macromolecules (Abu-Lail & Camesano, 2003;Han et al, 2011;Kirby, Patrick Gunning, Morris, & Ridout, 1995;Wang, Wang, & Li 2014) The AFM planar and 3-dimensional images of the polysaccharides are shown in Fig. 8.…”

Purification and characterization of a glucan from Bacillus Calmette Guerin and the antitumor activity of its sulfated derivative

“…In recent years, polysaccharides have aroused the interest of many researchers, owing to their broad spectrum of biological activities, such as immunomodulation, antitumor, antioxidation, hypoglycemic activity and so on (Dang et al, 2013;Wang et al, 2014;Sun, Wang & Zhou, 2012;Zhu et al, 2013). Much evidence has indicated that chemical modifications and structural improvements of polysaccharides can bring stronger or new biological activities.…”

Polysaccharide Production by Submerged Fermentation

“…Recently, Wang et al (2014) researched five polysaccharide fractions obtained from the fruiting body of Lentinus edodes, which showed different structures to those ones reported before. The in vitro and in vivo antitumor tests indicated that the five fractions played a double role.…”
