2. Schizophyllan - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schizophyllan

   Schizophyllan is a β-1,3 beta-glucan with β-1,6 branching. Schizophyllan is also known as sizofiran . Schizophyllan has a molecular weight of 450,000 Da, and a specific rotation in water of +18-24°. A chemically analogous polysaccharide, scleroglucan, is formed by the fungus Athelia rolfsii. Both polysaccharides share the chemical structure ...

3. Beta-glucan - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beta-glucan

   Cellulose is an example of a (1→4)-β- D -glucan composed of glucose units. Beta-glucans, β-glucans comprise a group of β- D -glucose polysaccharides ( glucans) naturally occurring in the cell walls of cereals, bacteria, and fungi, with significantly differing physicochemical properties dependent on source. Typically, β-glucans form a ...

4. 1,3-Beta-glucan synthase - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1,3-beta-glucan_synthase

   The family consists of various 1,3-beta-glucan synthase components including Gls1, Gls2, and Gls3 from yeast. 1,3-Beta-glucan synthase (EC 2.4.1.34.) also known as callose synthase catalyses the formation of a beta-1,3-glucan polymer that is a major component of the fungal cell wall. [4] The reaction catalysed is:

5. Glucan 1,3-β-glucosidase - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glucan_1,3-β-glucosidase

   Glucan 1,3-β-glucosidase ( EC 3.2.1.58, exo-1,3-β-glucosidase, β-1,3-glucan exo-hydrolase, exo (1→3)-glucanohydrolase, 1,3-β-glucan glucohydrolase) is an enzyme with systematic name 3-β-D-glucan glucohydrolase. [1] [2] It catalyses the successive hydrolysis of β- D - glucose units from the non-reducing ends of (1→3)-β- D -glucans ...

6. Glucan - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glucan

   A glucan is a polysaccharide derived from D- glucose, [1] linked by glycosidic bonds. Glucans are noted in two forms: alpha glucans and beta glucans. Many beta-glucans are medically important. They represent a drug target for antifungal medications of the echinocandin class.

7. Mixed-linkage glucan - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mixed-linkage_glucan

   Mixed-linkage glucan ( MLG ), sometimes incorrectly referred to as beta-glucan, is a hemicellulosic polysaccharide consisting of β-D (1-3) and β-D (1-4) linked glucosyl residues. MLG is highly prevalent within the Poales, where it has important properties in the diet. In addition, although thought to be confined to the Poales, MLG has been ...
