Properties
Description
NHS ester-xylan conjugation represents an active ester hybrid combining acylation capacity with xylan's β-1,4-linked xylose network. The composite architecture improves amine-reactive coupling efficiency.
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.
