Structure, biological activity, and enzymatic transformation of fucoidans from the brown seaweeds

Recent advances in the study of fucoidans, biologically active sulfated α‐L‐fucans of diverse structures and synthesized exclusively by marine organisms, are overviewed. Their structure, biological activity, the products of their enzymatic degradation and the different enzymes of degradation and mod...

Zusammenfassung:	Recent advances in the study of fucoidans, biologically active sulfated α‐L‐fucans of diverse structures and synthesized exclusively by marine organisms, are overviewed. Their structure, biological activity, the products of their enzymatic degradation and the different enzymes of degradation and modification are considered.
