Jia, Yanan published the artcileChemical structure and inhibition on α-glucosidase of polysaccharides from corn silk by fractional precipitation, Product Details of C6H12O6, the main research area is corn silk polysaccharide alpha glucosidase; Antioxidant; Corn silk; Polysaccharide fraction; Structure; α-Glucosidase.
Aimed to explore different corn silk polysaccharide (CSP) fractions derived by ethanol precipitation on the physicochem. properties and biol. activities, four fractions (CSP20, CSP40, CSP60, and CSP80) were obtained. CSPs consisted of mannose, galactose, arabinose, rhamnose, xylose, and glucose with different ratios, and exhibited different total sugar content, uronic acid content, protein content, and total phenols content. All fractions also showed different phys. properties, such as mol. weight, intrinsic viscosity, particle size, and microstructure. Besides, CSP80 exhibited stronger antioxidant activity and α-glucosidase inhibitory activity than the other three fractions. Enzyme kinetic anal. suggested that CSP80 inhibited α-glucosidase by mixed type and reversible mechanisms, resp. Fluorescence intensity measurements confirmed that the secondary structure of α-glucosidase was changed by the binding of CSP80. Isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC) results illustrated that the binding of CSP80 to α-glucosidase complex was spontaneous driven by enthalpy and hydrogen bonds played a major role in the binding.
