  2. 11. Structural and conformational studies of bacterial polysaccharides employing NMR spectroscopy

    Author : Mikael Staaf; Jesus Jiminez-Barbero; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Bacterial polysaccharides; Magnetic resonance spectroscopy; Organic chemistry; Organisk kemi; Organic Chemistry; organisk kemi;

    Abstract : Methods and approaches for performing structural and conformational analysis of bacterial polysaccharides in solution are described. The structure of one exopolysaccharide from Lactobacillus helveticus and two O-antigens from Escherichia coli have been determined using NMR spectroscopy, chemical degradation and mass spectrometry.

  4. 12. Investigation of Modified Cellulose and Starch via Hydrolysis and Mass Spectrometry

    Author : Arieh Cohen; Avdelningen för arbets- och miljömedicin; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; ESI-MS; Polysaccharides; Hydrolysis; Cellulases; Starch Hydrolases; Enzymatic Degradation; Enzymes; Substituent Distribution; Modified Cellulose; Mass Spectrometry; Modified Starch; Analytical chemistry; Analytisk kemi; HPAEC-PAD;

    Abstract : Starches and celluloses can be chemically modified in order to affect their physiochemical properties. Modification of these carbohydrate polymers entails derivatising their free hydroxyl groups with functional groups. READ MORE

  5. 13. Chemical Pathways for Galactoglucomannan-based Materials

    Author : Jens Voepel; Ann-Christine Albertsson; Ulrica Edlund; Søren Hvilsted; KTH; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Polysaccharides; hemicelluloses; galactoglucomannan; renewable; chemical modification; hydrogels; swelling; crosslinking; release; SET-LRP; living polymerization; grafting; hybrid materials; Polymer chemistry; Polymerkemi;

    Abstract : Polysaccharides are an important resource for a variety of products, from food via fuel supply to functional materials of every kind. Due to their natural diversity they can be found in many special applications, e.g. in the biomedical sector and are the major renewable resource for materials of many kinds. READ MORE

  6. 14. Discovery and applications of family AA9 lytic polysaccharide monooxygenases

    Author : Monika Tõlgo; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; lytic polysaccharide monooxygenases; cellulose; xylan; spruce; carbohydrate active enzymes; LPMO; lignocellulolytic enzyme cocktails; lignocellulose; polysaccharides; AA9; cellulose nanocrystals; thermophilic fungi;

    Abstract : Auxililary activity family 9 lytic polysaccharide monooxygenases (abbreviated as AA9s or LPMO9s) are fungal mono-copper enzymes capable of oxidatively cleaving various plant cell wall oligo- and/or polysaccharides. LPMO9s are key components of lignocellulolytic enzyme cocktails used in today’s biorefineries to break down biomass into fermentable sugars. READ MORE

  7. 15. Size Characterisation of Water-Soluble Polymers Using Asymmetrical Flow Field-Flow Fractionation

    Author : Bengt Wittgren; Centrum för analys och syntes; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; multi-angle light scattering; molar mass distribution; aggregation; size characterisation; Asymmetrical flow FFF; water-soluble polymers; polysaccharides; Chemical technology and engineering; Kemiteknik och kemisk teknologi;

    Abstract : Size, as expressed by molar mass, radius of gyration or hydrodynamic radius, for example, is a fundamental parameter of polymers in solution. Thus, there is a strong need for the characterisation of both the size and shape of polymers, particularly of those utilised in various industrial applications. READ MORE
