Properties
Description
The xylan-transferrin conjugate represents a cutting-edge molecular integration where transferrin's biological functionalities synergize with the structural framework provided by xylan-a β-1,4-linked xylose polymer sourced from plant hemicellulose. This composite architecture utilizes xylan's inherent biocompatibility and degradable nature to improve solution stability.
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.
