Abstract: Alginate is a family of industrially important linear polymers consisting of β-D-mannuronic acid (M) and its C-5 epimer α-L-guluronic acid (G). The function of alginate is closely related to the ratio of M/G. Mannuronan C-5… read more here.

Abstract: Given the excellent characteristics of alginate, it is an industrially important polysaccharide. Mannuronan C5-epimerase (MC5E) is an alginate-modifying enzyme that catalyzes the conversion of β-D-mannuronate (M) to its C5 epimer α-L-guluronate (G) in alginate. Both… read more here.
