| Cell walls of Fusarium are made up, in part, of compounds called chitin and glucan, which the enzymes break down. |
|
| And these are enzymes that make up a gluey, sticky substance, known as glucan, and the bacteria make this from sugar. |
|
| Some enzymes of glucan metabolism occur in the cytosol of leaf cells, but it is not known if they participate in metabolism of starch or of other substrates. |
|
| It is also possible that the first-group enzymes play important roles in the de novo synthesis of glucan primers and the initiation of starch granules in the endosperm. |
|
| Dextran, a glucan, hardly showed an interaction with the lipid monolayer, indicating that it is not an intrinsic property of polysaccharides in general. |
|
| The spore wall layers are laid down in a specific order in which the mannan, glucan, chitosan, and dityrosine layers overlay outward in a step-wise manner. |
|
| This is the first agent in a new class of antifungals, the echinocandins or glucan synthesis inhibitors, to be approved. |
|
| The linearity of the paramylon 1,3 beta glucan molecule and its higher molecular weight contribute to its heightened ability to stimulate the immune system. |
