Properties
Description
Tyrosine-xylan conjugation represents an amino acid-polysaccharide hybrid combining phenolic hydroxyl functionality with xylan's β-1,4-xylose framework. This biomaterial implementation benefits from the carbohydrate's hydration capacity and structural integrity.
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.
