Comparison of fucosylated chondroitin sulfate structure from three holothurian species in Sabah, Malaysia

Fucosylated chondroitin sulfate (FuCS) is a unique compound from commercially important holothurians that possess pharmaceutical bioprospect through its many physicochemical activities but was not explored in non-targeted species of Stichopus horrens, Holothuria atra and Holothuria arenicola. This s...
