Alginate, a group of polyuronic saccharides, has been widely used in both pharmaceutical
and food industries due to its unique physicochemical properties as well as beneficial health …

Synthesis of oligosaccharides has, for the past couple of decades, been greatly improved by
new methods and the ongoing development of new technologies, such as automation in …

Synthase-dependent secretion systems are a conserved mechanism for producing
exopolysaccharides in Gram-negative bacteria. Although widely studied, it is not well …

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 …

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

The search for stereoselective glycosylation reactions has occupied synthetic carbohydrate
chemists for decades. Traditionally, most attention has been focused on controlling the SN2 …

In this review we focus on the synthesis of compounds that are the rare antipodes of
common hexoses. Therefore, we only cover L-aldohexoses, 2-keto-L-hexoses, and 6-deoxy …

The stereodirecting effect of the glycosyl C-5 substituent has been investigated in a series of
d-pyranosyl thioglycoside donors and related to their preferred positions in the intermediate …

Glycosylations of mannuronate ester donors proceed highly selectively to produce the 1, 2-
cis-linked products. We here forward a mechanistic rationale for this counterintuitive …

Marine plants, animals and microorganisms display steady growth in the ocean and are
abundant carbohydrate resources. Specifically, natural polysaccharides obtained from …
