Abstract
The laminarans are biologically active water-soluble polysaccharide (1,3;1,6-β-D-glucans) of brown algae. These polysaccharides are an attractive object for research due to its relatively simple structure, low toxicity, and various biological effects. 1,3-β-D-glucanases are an effective tool for studying the structure of laminarans, and can also be used to obtain new biologically active derivatives. This review is to outline what is currently known about laminarans and enzymes that catalyze of their transformation. We focused on information about sources, structure and properties of laminarans and 1,3-β-D-glucanases, methods of obtaining and structural elucidation of laminarans, and biological activity of laminarans and products of their enzymatic transformation. It has an increased focus on the immunomodulating and anticancer activity of laminarans and their derivatives.

Thermal expansion behavior of hydrate paramylon in the low-temperature region. Carbohydr Polym 2012; 91:543-8.

Abstract
The thermal expansion behavior of hydrate paramylon between 100 and 300K has been investigated using synchrotron X-ray powder diffraction. The X-ray diffraction profile at 300K showed a typical pattern of the hydrate triple helical (1→3)-β-d-glucan with a hexagonal unit cell (a=15.782Å and c=18.580Å). On cooling, the hydrate paramylon had converted to a "low-temperature phase" around 270K. On passing through the phase transition, the a-axis and c-axis values decreased and increased, respectively, and the low-temperature phase at 100K exhibited a hexagonal unit cell (a=15.586Å and c=18.619Å). The phase transition took place reversibly. Below the transition point, both the a-axis and c-axis values decreased linearly. The thermal expansion coefficients are: α(a)=1.50×10(-5)K(-1), α(c)=0.33×10(-5)K(-1), and β=3.08×10(-5)K(-1).

Abstract
The formation of self assembled nano-structures from the biopolymer laminarin dried onto mica is reported. The observed structures are composed of stacked terraced layers decreasing in size away from the mica surface. The layers display a high degree of dimensional regularity as observed using atomic force microscope imaging (AFM). The width of the layers is linearly dependent upon the number of layers in the structure and decreases with layer number away from the mica substrate. The thickness of the layers is uniform throughout the structure. A pore is contained in the central region of each structure with more than one layer. We postulate that these structures have potential use as templates in microelectronic devices and sensors where the central pore has the potential to immobilise functional materials.

Abstract
This study used fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) spectroscopy as an indirect method to investigate the effect of NaOH treatment on the conformation of a triple-helix (1-->3)-beta-D-glucan and then evaluated the effect of conformation on biological activity. Previous studies have suggested that treatment of the triple-helix glucans with NaOH produces single-helix conformers. FRET spectra of the triple-helix glucan, laminarin, doubly labeled with 1-aminopyrene as donor probe and fluorescein-5-isothiocyanate as acceptor probe attached at the reducing end, showed that a partially opened triple-helix conformer was formed on treatment with NaOH. Increasing degrees of strand opening was associated with increasing concentrations of NaOH. Based on these observations we propose that a partially opened triple-helix rather than a single helix, is formed by treating the triple-helix glucans with NaOH. After neutralizing the NaOH, changes in FRET indicated that the partially opened conformer gradually reverts to the triple-helix over 8 days. Laminarian was stabilized at different degrees of partial opening and its biological activity examined using the Limulus amebocyte lysate assay and nitric oxide production by alveolar macrophage. Both Limulus amebocyte lysate activity and nitric oxide production were related to the degree of opening of the triple-helix. Partially open conformers were more biologically active than the intact triple-helix.

Abstract
The 1H- and 13C-n.m.r. data on the capsular polysaccharide (1) produced by Streptococcus pneumoniae type 4, the depyruvated polysaccharide (2), and a tetrasaccharide (3a) derived by Smith degradation of 2 were used as constraints on a computer-generated model of the conformation of 1 and to assess the effects of the pyruvic acetal substituent on the conformation. The dynamics of the polysaccharide systems and the influence of the pyruvic acetal were investigated using 13C-n.m.r. relaxation measurements.

Abstract
The relationship between the conformation of (1----3)-beta-D-glucans in gel or hydrated form and the stimulation of two types of biological responses, namely, activation of coagulation Factor G from limulus amebocyte lysate (LAL) and host-mediated antitumor activity was examined. Both types were activated by the single-helical conformation, as revealed by high-resolution, solid-state 13C-n.m.r. spectroscopy. The potency of activation of Factor G was increased over 100-fold by treatment with a NaOH solution which leads to a complete or partial conversion from the triple to the single helix. Such a single-helix specific response was also demonstrated for the antitumor activity of curdlan, although the distinction was less pronounced for branched (1----3)-beta-D-glucans. The presence of the single-helix conformation was observed in schizophyllan gel, even though the triple helix is the most stable form of branched glucans in aqueous media.

Abstract
We have recorded high-resolution 13C-NMR spectra of linear (curdlan) and branched (lentinan, HA-beta-glucan and its polyol and aldehyde derivatives) (1----3)-beta-D-glucans in hydrate and gel states, in order to gain insight into their gelation mechanism. Network structure of curdlan turned out to be highly heterogeneous from its motional state, from liquid-like, through intermediate, to solid-like domains. They are studied by a variety of experiments, conventional high-resolution NMR by broad-band decoupling, high-power decoupling with magic angle spinning (MAS), and cross-polarization-magic-angle-spinning (CP-MAS). Nevertheless, we found that conformations of these distinct liquid-like and solid-like domains exhibit an identical single helix conformation with a small proportion of a triple helix form, supporting our previous view as to the gelation mechanism. In contrast, the network structure of branched (1----3)-beta-D-glucans in the gel state arises mainly from the triple helix conformation. This means that gelation of branched (1----3)-beta-D-glucan proceeds from partial association of the triple helical chains, previously proposed for gelation of a linear glucan. Furthermore, we found that conversion from the single chain to the single helix was not achieved readily by hydration of over 8 h at 96% R.H. for branched glucan but the triple helix form is obtained when these samples are hydrated fully as in gel state.

Abstract
The structure activity relationship for beta-D-glucans for the gelation of the amoebocyte lysates of the horseshoe crab (Limulus) has been investigated. beta-D-Glucans that had no (1----3) linkages induced little or no gelation. The (1----3)-beta-D-glucans curdlan (unbranched), grifolan (approximately 33% branched), schizophyllan (approximately 33% branched), lentinan (approximately 40% branched). SSG (approximately 50% branched), and OL-2 (approximately 66% branched) induced significant gelation. The optimum concentration for gelation was correlated with the content of branching. Single chain (rather than a triple helix) conformation and higher molecular weight were associated with higher reactivity.
