The present studies aimed to investigate the chain conformation of fucosylated chondroitin sulfates from two different sea cucumbers Apostichopus japonicus (fCS-Aj), and Holothuria mexicana (fCS-Hm). The chain conformations were determined by SEC-MALLS-Visc-RI, indicating that the chain conformations of fCS-Aj and fCS-Hm were random coil and extended linear chain structure in PBS, respectively. Our results suggested that the formation of linear chain of fCS were due to a synergistic effect of molecular weight, sulfate content and sulfation patterns. The worm-like cylinder model indicated that fCS-Aj possessed more flexible chains compared with fCS-Hm. fCS-Aj and fCS-Hm all exhibited as negatively charged polymers with good thermal stability. The present studies were important for understanding the structure-activities relationship of fCSs.
本研究旨在研究两种不同海参(刺参(fCS-Aj)和墨西哥海参(fCS-Hm))来源的岩藻糖基硫酸软骨素的链构象。通过 SEC-MALLS-Visc-RI 确定了链构象,结果表明 fCS-Aj 和 fCS-Hm 在 PBS 中的链构象分别为无规卷曲和伸展线性链结构。我们的结果表明,fCS 线性链的形成归因于分子量、硫酸根含量和硫酸化模式的协同作用。蠕虫状圆柱模型表明,fCS-Aj 与 fCS-Hm 相比,具有更灵活的链。fCS-Aj 和 fCS-Hm 均表现为带有良好热稳定性的带负电荷聚合物。本研究对于理解 fCSs 的结构-活性关系具有重要意义。
