Synthesis of branched polysaccharides with tunable degree of branching.

چکیده
An in vitro enzyme-catalyzed tandem reaction using the enzymes phosphorylase b from rabbit muscle and Deinococcus geothermalis glycogen branching enzyme (Dg GBE) to obtain branched polyglucans with tunable degree of branching (2% ÷ 13%) is presented. The tunable degree of branching is obtained by varying the reaction conditions such as pH value, the choice of reducing agent and its concentration and reaction time. Linear amylose is formed by the phosphorylase-catalyzed propagation of glucose-1-phosphate while Dg GBE introduces branching points on the α-(1→6) position by relocating short oligosaccharide chains. Our results show that the best way to obtain different degrees of branching with this set of enzymes is by regulation of the reaction time.

متن کاملThe influence of branching efficiency on the rheology and morphology of melt state long chain branched polypropylene/polybutene-1 blends
In this study, the compatibility of the blends of polypropylene (PP) and polybutene-1(PB-1) homopolymer before and after long chain branching process were studied. The blends were prepared and long-chain branched directly via reactive extrusion process in presence of free radical initiator and trimethylolpropane tri methacrylate (TMPTMA) poly functional monomer. The optimum percentage of TMPTMA...
متن کاملThe action of branching enzymes on outer chains of glycogen.
The degradation and synthesis of branched polysaccharides of the glycogen-amylopectin class require, according to our present knowledge, three separate enzymes. Phosphorylase makes the 1,4-linked chains longer or shorter by addition or removal of glucose units and thereby modifies the structure in such a manner that the other two enzymes can act. Degradation by phosphorylase exposes the 1,6-lin...
متن کاملOn the nature of rabbit liver glycogen. I. Branching characteristics.
Both glycogen and amylopectin are branched chain polyglucosides. A differentiation has most often been made on the basis of differences in the degree of branching of the two polysaccharides. For large molecular weight, highly ramified structures like glycogen and amylopectin, the number of branch points may be considered to be equal to the number of terminal, non-reducing glucose residues (end-...
متن کاملSynthesis of branched Pd nanocrystals with tunable structures, their growth mechanism, and enhanced electrocatalytic properties.
Branched Pd nanocrystals (NCs) with tunable architectures are synthesized in high yields (>95%) by simply adjusting the concentration of H2PdCl4 in the presence of fixed amounts of cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB), L-ascorbic acid (L-AA), and CuBr2(-) that is produced by reducing CuBr2 with L-AA. The as-synthesized branched Pd NCs have long, straight branches with thin diameters. At the sa...
