General description
The molecule consists of a linear chain of glucose units without any branching. The molecular weight is ～500,000 Da.
Application
β-1,3-Glucan from Euglena gracilis may be compared with other β-1,3-glucans and their derivatives to study mechanisms of protection of DNA from oxidative lesions. β-1,3-Glucan from Euglena gracilis may be used as a substrate to identify, differentiate and characterize glucanase(s).
