Oligosaccharides Polysaccharides

Sialic acids occur in a-glycosidic linkage as components of oligosaccharides, polysaccharides, and glycoconjugates.19,41-44 As binding... 

In a discussion of the use of deamination to obtain structural information, it is convenient to consider two different aspects (a) applications to monosaccharide and cyclitol amines, and (b) applications to compounds containing amino sugar and inosamine residues. The latter compounds would include oligosaccharides, polysaccharides, glycolipids, glycoproteins, and antibiotics.

Cryoprotectants which have so far been found to be effective for fish muscle proteins include such compounds as monosaccharides, oligosaccharides, polysaccharides of relatively small molecular size, di- and polyalcohols, hydroxymonocarboxylic acids, di- and tricarboxylic acids, acidic, basic and some other amino acids, and phosphates and their derivatives (15,16,66,67,72-74, 82,83,93,97-99,112-114,122,140-154). Dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSOT, which is cryoprotective for various biological materials such as red cells, was not effective for fish muscle proteins (147). 

There are many publications and comprehensive handbooks on the thin-layer chromatography (TLC) of carbohydrates (e.g., Refs. 1 and 2). The reason is their great importance in life science and the great diversity of cases monosaccharide, disaccharide, trisaccharide, oligosaccharide, polysaccharide, aldose, ke-tose, triose, tetrose, pentose, hexose, as well as reducing and nonreducing sugars. In addition, when extracted from natural products or produced by fermentation, carbohydrates are accompanied by many impurities. That is why separation methods are used predominantly for their analysis.

It was, nevertheless, the study of oligosaccharides, polysaccharides, and glycosidases which formed the subject of his most extended researches. 

Gum arabic is a complex mixture of arabinogalactan oligosaccharides, polysaccharides, and glycoproteins. The chemical composition of the mixture can vary with the source, climate, and other factors.
