Native amylose chains dispersed in solution assume a random coil structure with occasional helical segments (Rao, Qasba, Balaji, & Chandrasekaran, 1998; Shimada, Kaneko, Takada, Kitamura, &...

The DUF is predicted to form a coiled-coil with six absolutely conserved cysteines acting as a zipper between the two α-helices.

Amylose is a polysaccharide made of α- D - glucose units, bonded to each other through α (1→4) glycosidic bonds. It is one of the two components of starch, making up approximately 20–25% of it.

We have tested the ability of 120 compounds to induce the crystallization of amylose from dilute aqueous solutions. The morphology and str... ... models vary from a random coil, interrupted...

Amylose is formed when α-glucose monomers are linked together by condensation to form a long, unbranching chain. The amylose chain can be made up of several thousand glucose molecules. The chains are curved and result in a coiled, helical structure (like a spring).

Structural characteristics of amylose molecules can be generally described by two features, their size and branched structure. They are indicated in a similar manner to that of amylopectin by using the degree of polymerization (DP) and chain length (CL) for molecular size and unit-chain length, respectively.

In this paper, we study the structure of amylose chains in water using MD simulations to identify and characterize these “imperfect” helical structures. To this end we devise geometry-based criteria to define imperfect helical structures in amylose chains.

2011年5月4日 · In the present complementary paper, we provide the first detailed description of the habit of faceted A-amylose single crystals based on an extensive electron diffraction analysis carried out in relation with the crystal morphology determined from scanning and transmission electron microscopy images.

Amylose, the linear polymer of α‐1,4‐linked glucopyranose units, is known to crystallize as a parallel double helix, but evidence of this duplex forming in solution has remained elusive for ...

Amylose [ (C6H10O5)n] - Amylose is a polysaccharide made of α-D-glucose units, bonded to each other through α (1→4) glycosidic bonds. Amylose is a linear polymer of glucose, and amylopectin is a branched form of amylose.
