Abstract
Sulfated fucan from sea cucumber is mainly consists of L-fucose and sulfate groups. Recent studies have confirmed that the structure of sulfated fucan mainly consists of repeating units, typically tetrasaccharides. However, there is growing evidence indicating the presence of irregular domains with heterogeneous units that have not been extensively explored. Moreover, as a key contributor to the nutritional benefits of sea cucumbers, sulfated fucan demonstrates a range of biological activities, such as anti-inflammatory, anticancer, hypolipidemic, anti-hyperglycemic, antioxidant, and anticoagulant properties. These biological activities are profoundly influenced by the structural features of sulfated fucan including molecular weight and distribution patterns of sulfate groups. The latest research indicates that sulfated fucan is dispersed in the extracellular matrix of the body wall of sea cucumbers. This article aimed to review the research progress on the in-situ distribution, structures, structural elucidation strategies, functions, and structure-activity relationships of sulfated fucan, especially in the last decade. It also provided insights into the major challenges and potential solutions in the research and development of sulfated fucan. Moreover, the fucanase and carbohydrate binding modules are anticipated to play pivotal roles in advancing this field.

Abstract
Aqueous solutions of polyethylene glycol are studied by small-angle neutron scattering over a broad range of polymer molecular masses and concentrations. The scattering data were modeled by a Gaussian chain form factor combined with random phase approximation, which provided good fits over the whole studied concentration range. The results showed that polyethylene glycol in the molecular mass range 0.4–20 kDa in water at physiological temperature T = 37 °C behaves like a random coil in nearly theta solvent conditions. The obtained results serve as a reference for the description of complex mixtures with PEG used in various applications.

Abstract
Colloidal aggregates of small molecules are the most common artifact in early drug discovery, sequestering and inhibiting target proteins without specificity. Understanding their structure and mechanism has been crucial to developing tools to control for, and occasionally even exploit, these particles. Unfortunately, their polydispersity and transient stability have prevented exploration of certain elementary properties, such as how they pack. Dye-stabilized colloidal aggregates exhibit enhanced homogeneity and stability when compared to conventional colloidal aggregates, enabling investigation of some of these properties. By small-angle X-ray scattering and multiangle light scattering, pair distance distribution functions suggest that the dye-stabilized colloids are filled, not hollow, spheres. Stability of the coformulated colloids enabled investigation of their preference for binding DNA, peptides, or folded proteins, and their ability to purify one from the other. The coformulated colloids showed little ability to bind DNA. Correspondingly, the colloids preferentially sequestered protein from even a 1600-fold excess of peptides that are themselves the result of a digest of the same protein. This may reflect the avidity advantage that a protein has in a surface-to-surface interaction with the colloids. For the first time, colloids could be shown to have preferences of up to 90-fold for particular proteins over others. Loaded onto the colloids, bound enzyme could be spun down, resuspended, and released back into buffer, regaining most of its activity. Implications of these observations for colloid mechanisms and utility will be considered.

Abstract
Free fatty acids play a vital role as fuel for cells and in lipid metabolism. During lipid digestion in the gastrointestinal tract, triglycerides are hydrolyzed, resulting in free fatty acid and monoglyceride amphiphilic products. These components, together with bile salts, are responsible for the transport of lipids and poorly water-soluble nutrients and xenobiotics from the intestine into the circulatory system of the body. In this study, we show that the self-assembly of digestion products from medium-chain triglycerides (tricaprylin) in combination with bile salt and phospholipid is highly pH-responsive. Individual building blocks of caprylic acid within the mixed colloidal structures are mapped using a combination of small-angle X-ray and neutron scattering combined with both solvent contrast variation and selective deuteration. Modeling of the scattering data shows transitions in the size and shape of the micelles in combination with a transfer of the caprylic acid from the core of the micelles to the shell or into the bulk water upon increasing pH. The results help to understand the process of lipid digestion with a focus on colloidal structure formation and transformation for the delivery of triglyceride lipids and other hydrophobic functional molecules.

Abstract
The effects of macromolecular architecture on the osmotic pressure pi and virial coefficients (B(2) and B(3)) of star and comb polymers in good solvents are studied by dissipative particle dynamics simulations for both dilute and semiconcentrated regimes. The dependence of the osmotic pressure on polymer concentration is directly calculated by considering two reservoirs separated by a semipermeable, fictitious membrane. Our simulation results show that the ratios A(n+1) identical with B(n+1)/R(g)(3n) are essentially constant and A(2) and A(3) are arm number (f) dependent, where R(g) is zero-density radius of gyration. The value of dimensionless virial ratio g = A(3)/A(2)(2) increases with arm number of stars whereas it is essentially arm number independent for comb polymers. In semiconcentrated regime the scaling relation between osmotic pressure and volume fraction, pi proportional to phi(lambda), still holds for both star and comb polymers. For comb polymers, the exponent lambda is close to lambda(*) (approximately = 2.73 for linear chains) and is independent of the arm number. However, for star polymers, the exponent lambda deviates from lambda(*) and actually grows with increasing the arm number. This may be attributed to the significant ternary interactions near the star core in the many-arm systems.

Abstract
Synthetic amyloses, pullulans, phytoglycogen, rabbit liver glycogen, oyster glycogen, and dextrans were studied using high-performance size-exclusion chromatography combined with multiangle laser light scattering (MALLS) and online quasi-elastic light scattering (QELS), which provided the RH distributions up to 65 nm. Different structural parameters were extracted from entire molar mass distributions, including the slope of the log-log plot of R H(i) versus M(i)and the rho(i )= R(Gi)/R(Hi)ratio. This approach enabled to observe deviations from the De Gennes scaling law concept. Evidences that the power laws do not obey the general universality were furnished by the observation of strong deviations in the relation between radii and molar masses for the branched polysaccharides, a decrease of rho-parameter with molar mass toward values much lower than theoretically expected, and the fact that relation between rho-parameter and apparent segment density did not show the expected power law decrease with an exponent of 1/3. The universality of scaling behavior seems no longer to be realized if structural heterogeneity governs the system.

Abstract
For diblockcopolymers of polybutadiene-poly(ethyleneoxide) (PB-PEO) type, water is a selective solvent. In dependence of the length of both blocks and the block length ratio, these polymers form a multitude of self-assembled structures in solution. In the present work scattering methods are used to investigate the water-soluble polymer PB125-PEO155 . It is found to form long rodlike micelles, which are characterized with respect to the aggregate length L , the cross sectional radius RCS , the radial scattering length density profile sigma r, and the radial aggregation number Nrad. Model-independent as well as model-based approaches are used for the scattering data analysis. From dynamic light scattering (DLS) and static light scattering (SLS) experiments the weight averaged length Lw of these stiff elongated aggregates is determined to Lw=350 nm . Small angle neutron scattering (SANS) reveals a cross sectional radius of RCS=17 nm and in combination with results from the SLS the radial aggregation number is found to be Nrad=70 .

The major polysaccharide in tamarind seed is a galactoxyloglucan for which the ratios galactose:xylose:glucose are 1:2:25:2.8. A minor polysaccharide (2-3%) contains branched (1----5)-alpha-L-arabinofuranan and unbranched (1----4)-beta-D-galactopyranan features. Small-angle X-ray scattering experiments gave values for the cross-sectional radius of the polymer in aqueous solution that were typical of single-stranded molecules. Marked stiffness of the chain (C infinity 110) was deduced from static light-scattering studies and is ascribed partially to the restriction of the motion of the (1----4)-beta-D-glucan backbone by its extensive (approximately 80%) glycosylation. The rigidity of the polymer caused significant draining effects which heavily influenced the hydrodynamic behaviour. The dependence of "zero-shear" viscosity on concentration was used to characterise "dilute" and "semi-dilute" concentration regimes. The marked dependence on concentration in the "semi-dilute" region was similar to that for other stiff neutral polysaccharide systems, ascribed to "hyper-entanglements", and it is suggested that these may have arisen through a tenuous alignment of stiffened chains.
