Background: Dextran (DX) is a natural polysaccharide produced in the laboratory by fermentation of sucrose under the effect of the enzyme DX sucrase (1,6-α-D-glucan-α- glucosyltransferase). After harvesting and purification DX is subjected to cracking and separation to obtain the desired molecular weight.
Methods: The hydroxyl groups present in DX offer many sites for derivatization allowing the production of functionalized glycoconjugates biocompatible compound.
