Journal ArticleDOI
Enzymes as Green Catalysts for Precision Macromolecular Synthesis
TL;DR: The enzymatic polymerizations allowed the first in vitro synthesis of natural polysaccharides having complicated structures like cellulose, amylose, xylan, chitin, hyaluronan, and chondroitin, and producing minimal byproducts.
Journal ArticleDOI
Chitin Whiskers: An Overview
TL;DR: The research and development of CHW related areas are much slower than those of CW, however, CHWs are still of strategic importance in the resource scarcity periods because of their abundant availability and special properties.
Journal ArticleDOI
Encapsulation of active ingredients in polysaccharide-protein complex coacervates.
TL;DR: This review discusses on the overview of polysaccharide-protein complex coacervates and their use for the encapsulation of diverse active ingredients, designing and controlling of the capsules for delivery systems and developments in the area.
Journal ArticleDOI
Enzymatic methods for glyco(diversification/randomization) of drugs and small molecules.
TL;DR: This review covers the influence of Glycosylation upon various drug properties, the classes of glycosyl-conjugating enzymes amenable to glyco(randomization/diversification) schemes, approaches to the synthesis of required substrates and specific examples of glycorandomized libraries utilizing both wild-type and engineered enzymes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Bioproduction of chitooligosaccharides: present and perspectives.
Woo-Jin Jung,Ro-Dong Park +1 more
TL;DR: Other emerging technologies such as direct degradation of chitin from crustacean shells and microbial cell walls, enzymatic synthesis of COS from small building blocks, and protein engineering technology for chit in-related enzymes have been discussed as the most significant challenge for industrial application.

Journal ArticleDOI
Cellulose: Fascinating Biopolymer and Sustainable Raw Material
TL;DR: The current knowledge in the structure and chemistry of cellulose, and in the development of innovative cellulose esters and ethers for coatings, films, membranes, building materials, drilling techniques, pharmaceuticals, and foodstuffs are assembled.
Journal ArticleDOI
Functions of Cell Surface Heparan Sulfate Proteoglycans
Merton Bernfield,Martin Götte,Pyong Woo Park,Ofer Reizes,Marilyn L. Fitzgerald,John Lincecum,Masahiro Zako +6 more
TL;DR: Current analyses of genetic defects in Drosophila melanogaster, mice, and humans confirm most of these activities in vivo and identify additional processes that involve cell surface heparan sulfate proteoglycans.
Journal ArticleDOI
Chitosan chemistry and pharmaceutical perspectives.

Nagar, Punjab-160 062, India, Institute of Biochemistry, Faculty of Medicine, Polytechnic University, Via Ranieri 67, IT-60100 Ancona, Italy, and Department of Medicinal Chemistry & Natural Products,The Hebrew University of Jerusalem, School of Pharmacy-Faculty of medicine, Jerusalem 91120, Israel.
Journal ArticleDOI
Structures and mechanisms of glycosyl hydrolases
TL;DR: The wealth of information provided by the recent structure determinations of many different glycosyl hydrolases shows that the substrate specificity and the mode of action of these enzymes are governed by exquisite details of their three-dimensional structures rather than by their global fold.
Journal ArticleDOI
Einfluss der Configuration auf die Wirkung der Enzyme
TL;DR: In this article, the Spaltung der Glucoside durch die Enzyme der Hefe and das Emulsin in hohem Grade von der Konfiguration des Molekuls abhangig is discussed.
