Properties
Description
Bovine serum albumin conjugation to xylan creates a protein-polysaccharide hybrid utilizing xylan's β-1,4-linked xylose framework from plant biomass. This configuration enhances solution stability through the carbohydrate's inherent hydrophilicity and sustainable degradation pathway.
Glycan Structure
Its glycan structure is a linear backbone of β-1,4-linked D-xylose residues with side-chain substitutions including α-linked arabinofuranose, glucuronic acid/4-O-methyl-glucuronic acid, and acetyl groups at O-2 or O-3 positions.

Identity
Confirmed by NMR.
Applications
Xylan-bovine serum albumin can be used for its potential to map gastrointestinal hormone signaling pathways using peptide-coupled tracking probes.
