The tunic of the ascidian Styela plicata is rich in a high molecular weight sulfated-L-galactan called the F-1 fraction. This polysaccharide is of complex structure and is highly branched. In this study we undertook detailed structural analysis of the F-1 fraction that was submitted to the Smith deg

A purified sulfated alpha-L-galactofucan from Clavelina sp. has been studied before and after desulfation, using periodate oxidation, methylation analysis, and n.m.r. spectroscopy, and shown to be composed mainly of 3-sulfated 4-linked alpha-L-galactopyranosyl residues. There was also a small propor
## Abstract Sulfated polysaccharides from marine seaweeds are receiving continuous attention owing to their wide therapeutic applications and are known to inhibit free radical generation. It has been well known that mitochondria are the major sources as well as the target of free radicals. The rena
