A new automated method synthesizes long polysaccharides out of mannose (green circles), creating a 100-unit-long polymer and a 151-unit branched polymer. Credit: J. Am. Chem. Soc.

Linear polysaccharides are precipitated from 1 per cent solution in 30 per cent aqueous calcium chloride by the addition of aqueous potassium iodide–iodine solutions, whereas branched ...

Glycosaminoglycans are linear polysaccharide chains which are highly sulphated and are involved in growth factor interactions. The glycosaminoglycan chain of decorin is either of chondroitin (CS) or ...

Chitosan is a linear polysaccharide composed of randomly distributed β-linked D-glucosamine and N-acetyl-D-glucosamine.

The six mammalian glycosaminoglycans (GAGs), chondroitin sulfate, dermatan sulfate, heparin, heparan sulfate, hyaluronan, and keratan sulfate, are linear polysaccharides. Except for hyaluronan, they ...
