Abstract

Commercial polysaccharide preparations were investigated for their restriction enzyme-inhibitory activities. Dextran sulfate (S content 18.5%) and laminaran from Eisenia arborea (0.88%) had marked inhibitory activity and haparin (13.1%) and ξ-, κ-, and λ-carrageenans (3.0, 3.8, and 4.3%) showed moderate inhibition. The effects of sulfation level and the structure of the carbohydrate moiety on the inhibitory activity were discussed.
